Two people were killed and at least 18 injured by Russian guided bombs in an attack on the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv on Saturday, regional officials said.

Kharkiv Mayor Ihor Terekhov said at least four explosions were heard in a residential area in the afternoon. Rescue workers were working on the site of the strikes.

Kharkiv lies about 30 kilometres (20 miles) from the border with Russia. The city of about 1.3 million people has frequently been targeted in Russian attacks during nearly 28 months of war.
