KYIV, May 12 — More than 4,000 people have been evacuated from border areas in Ukraine’s north-eastern Kharkiv region, the local governor said today, following a surprise cross-border Russian offensive there that began on Friday.
“In total, 4,073 people have been evacuated,” governor Oleg Synegubov wrote on social media, a day after Russian forces claimed the capture of five villages in the region.
Synegubov said that on Sunday a 63-year-old man was killed by artillery fire in the village of Glyboke and a 38-year-old man was wounded in Vovchansk, a border town with some 3,000 residents before the current offensive.
Ukraine on Friday announced that Russia had launched an attack in the Kharkiv region, making small advances into a border zone from where it had been pushed back nearly two years ago.
