"Unfortunately, ‌there is preliminary information about two people killed," Mayor ​Ihor Terekhov said on the Telegram messaging app.

Kharkiv ⁠Regional Governor Oleh Syniehubov said that ​according to preliminary information all of the wounded were ​in serious condition ‌and were receiving necessary assistance.
