Kyiv, Ukraine: Five civilians were killed by Russian fire on Saturday in Ukraine, with one missile attack carried out after emergency services had arrived at the scene of an earlier attack, officials said.
A police officer and an emergency rescue official were killed by that second strike in the village of Budy in Ukraine's northeastern Kharkiv region.
"This is not the first time that Russia has attacked emergency services while they are rescuing civilians," Interior Minister Igor Klymenko said on social media.
"For each such crime, there will be responsibility and accountability -- in the courts and on the battlefield," he wrote.
Regional governor Oleg Synegubov said 22 people were injured, including five railway workers.
