Quote from Syniehubov: "Another Russian terrorist attack. The city of Kupiansk was attacked around 07:40. A nine-storey apartment block and the premises of an outpatient clinic were damaged. Unfortunately, two people were killed, a 55-year-old woman and a 68-year-old man. One person was hospitalised and another received medical attention at the scene."

Details: Tymoshenko said that the people who were killed were passers-by.

Syniehubov added that Russian occupation forces also shelled parts of Kharkiv Oblast near the front on the morning of 23 November.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine are holding the line, he added, despite relentless Russian mortar and artillery attacks.

A Russian sabotage and reconnaissance group attempted to enter and conduct operations in Starytsia, but was neutralised by the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
