Russian indiscriminate shelling killed a civilian in the Kharkiv Oblast (eastern Ukraine), the Kharkiv Oblast Prosecutor's Office reported.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces cannot counter daily Russian shelling of residential areas in Ukrainian frontline towns due to a lack of ammunition for the counterbattery fire that could help suppress Russian artillery systems.
The Russian army shelled three villages in the Kharkiv Oblast, where the Russian onslaught on Kupiansk is ongoing.
