A Russian “guided bomb” has hit a blood transfusion centre in north-eastern Ukraine, killing two people and injuring four, Ukrainian officials say.
President Volodymyr Zelensky posted an image of the building on fire as a result of Saturday night’s attack around Kupiansk, in the Kharkiv region.
“This war crime alone says everything about Russian aggression,” he said.
Russia has not commented. It has previously denied all allegations of targeting civilians – or war crimes.
The city of Kupiansk and nearby settlements were seized by Russian troops in the first few days of Moscow’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, launched in February 2022.
The area was liberated during a Ukrainian counter-offensive last September but comes under missiles and shelling daily.
In a post on social media, Zelensky described the perpetrators as “beasts”.
“Defeating terrorists is a matter of honour for everyone who values life,” he added.
Zelensky did not give details of the casualties. But local officials later posted the same image adding details about the attack on what they described as a non-residential building.
He also said that on Saturday Russia separately carried out a missile attack, targeting an aeronautical company run by group Motor Sich in the western Khmelnytskyi region.
