Over 70 Ukrainian soldiers said killed in Russian artillery attack
More than 70 Ukrainian soldiers are killed when Russian artillery hits a military base in Okhtyrka, a city between Kharkiv and Kyiv, the head of the region writes on Telegram.
Dmytro Zhyvytskyy posts photographs of the charred shell of a four-story building and rescuers searching rubble.
In a later Facebook post, he says many Russian soldiers and some local residents were also killed during the fighting on Sunday. The report could not immediately be confirmed.
