KHARKIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russian shelling has pounded a densely populated area in Ukraine’s second-largest city. Local authorities in Kharkiv said at least three people were killed and 23 injured during a barrage Thursday that struck a mosque, a medical facility, a bus stop, a shopping area and other civilian sites. Police in the northeastern city said cluster bombs hit a public market where Associated Press journalists saw a woman crying over her dead husband’s body. The mayor of Kharkiv said the attacks early Thursday targeted one of the most crowded areas of the city. They came a day after a top Russian envoy declared that Russia is seeking to carve out more territory in Ukraine.
