A Russian “guided bomb” has hit a blood transfusion centre in north-eastern Ukraine, killing two people and injuring four, Ukrainian officials say.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Volodymyr Zelensky posted an image of the building on fire as a result of Saturday night’s attack around Kupiansk, in the Kharkiv region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “This war crime alone says everything about Russian aggression,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Russia has not commented. It has previously denied all allegations of targeting civilians – or war crimes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The area was liberated during a Ukrainian counter-offensive last September, but comes under missiles and shelling daily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In a post on social media, Mr Zelensky described the perpetrators as “beasts”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “Defeating terrorists is a matter of honour for everyone who values life,” he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mr 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n President Zelensky 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On Sunday, Russia’s air defences destroyed a drone as it approached Moscow, the city’s mayor, Sergei Sobyanin, said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Last week, an office block on a Moscow skyscraper was hit two days in a row by Ukrainian drones, Russian authorities said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ukraine has not publicly admitted carrying out such attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Moscow has also accused Ukraine on Saturday of hitting a Russian tanker with 11 crew members in the Black Sea – the second such sea drone attack in as many days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Russian maritime officials said the engine room of the Sig tanker was damaged in the attack in the Kerch Strait. No-one was injured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Kerch Strait connects the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov, separating Crimea – Ukraine’s peninsula annexed by Moscow in 2014 – and Russia’s Taman peninsula.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ukraine has not publicly commented. But a Ukrainian security service source told the BBC a sea drone had been used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In another development, the Chonhar road bridge linking mainland Ukraine to Crimea was hit by a Ukrainian missile strike on Sunday, according to Russia’s RIA news agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
