June 28 (Reuters) - ‌Russian attacks ​killed ​at least four people on Sunday in Ukraine's southeast ‌and northeast, regional officials said.

Strikes on ⁠the southeastern city of Zaporizhzhia killed ‌two people and injured ‌16, Regional Governor Ivan Fedorov said on Telegram. Pictures posted online ​by the governor showed a building ablaze and parts of ⁠a neighborhood reduced to rubble.

In the northeastern border region ​of Kharkiv, a frequent Russian target, a missile strike on ​the town of Zmiiv ‌killed one person and injured eight, including two children, ⁠Regional Governor Oleh Syniehubov said.

Police in the Kharkiv region also said an ⁠officer was killed as he was trying ​to organize the evacuation of residents in another community further north.

Reuters was unable to ‌independently verify accounts from either side. Both Russia and ‌Ukraine deny deliberately targeting civilians ⁠in the more ‌than four-year-old ​conflict.
