The Russian army attacked the outskirts of Ukraine's Kharkiv late Sunday evening, June 8, using guided aerial bombs, informs Kharkiv Regional Military Administration Head Oleh Syniehubov and Kharkiv Mayor Ihor Terekhov.

Ukraine denied Russian allegations on Saturday that it had indefinitely postponed prisoner swaps, accusing Moscow of "playing dirty games" after overnight Russian missile and bomb strikes on Kharkiv left three people dead and 22 injured.

The barrage, one of the fiercest of the three-year war, struck six Ukrainian territories, killing at least six people and injuring about 80, Ukrainian officials said.
