The latest bombings come as Russian President Putin says aim of Kharkiv offensive is to create a buffer zone.
Russian guided bombs have killed at least two people and injured 13 in Ukraine’s northeastern city of Kharkiv, local officials say, as Russia continues its major military offensive in the region.
It was not immediately clear what the bombs had been targeting on Friday, but the regional governor said those injured were civilians.
“Among the 13 wounded, four are in a serious condition,” Governor Oleh Syniehubov said on the Telegram messaging app.
Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second largest city, and the surrounding region have long been targeted by Russian attacks but the strikes have become more intense in recent months, hitting civilian and energy infrastructure.
Reporting from Kharkiv on Friday, Al Jazeera’s John Holman said several strikes were heard and a “thick, black plume of smoke” was visible.
