Two people died and one was injured Monday when Russian troops fired artillery at a residential street in Ukraine's second largest city of Kharkiv, prosecutors said.
The Kharkiv regional prosecutor's office said that it was carrying out a probe into a possible war crime over the incident in the city, which has been severely damaged by Russian airstrikes.
Prosecutors said that the latest casualties occurred during shelling that destroyed one residential building and damaged several others on a street whose name translates as Freedom Street.
Prosecutors said shortly afterwards that a 15-year-old boy had died from shrapnel wounds after shelling hit a kindergarten in the nearby town of Chuguiv, around 40 kilometres (25 miles) southeast of Kharkiv.
