The Kharkiv Regional Prosecutor's Office reported via Telegram on a tragic incident that occurred in the village of Borova, Izium district, on the evening of March 27. A 12-year-old boy died as a result of shelling by the russian military. In addition to the death of the child, the enemy attack damaged a kindergarten and residential buildings.

Oleksandr Tertyshnyi, head of the Borova military unit, in an interview with Suspilne, detailed the circumstances of the tragedy.

"The boy and his parents were returning home when the shelling took place. The boy was taken to the hospital in critical condition from shrapnel wounds, where, unfortunately, he died," he said.

Tertyshnyi also noted that the village was hit twice: once near a kindergarten and once near a residential building.

A pre-trial investigation has been launched into the violation of the laws and customs of war, which led to premeditated murder, in accordance with Part 2 of Article 438 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. Earlier in the day, russians struck a residential area of Kharkiv with a guided aerial bomb, killing one person and injuring at least 19, including four children.
