Kyiv: Kharkiv Regional Prosecutor’s Office has said that seven people were killed after Russian forces allegedly opened fire on two evacuation buses.
Another 27 people were wounded as the buses travelled near the village of Borova, close to the contested city of Izium, CNN reported on Friday, citing the office’s statement.
“A pre-trial investigation has been launched into violations of the laws and customs of war combined with premeditated murder,” the office said.
The ongoing conflict between the two nations started when Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24. The alleged incident happened on Thursday.Â
