An orphanage in Vorzel, a small town about 40km from Kyiv, has been hit by heavy Russian shelling, Ukraine’s prosecutor general has said.

She said there were no casualties and noted that “measures are being taken on their evacuation”.

At the same time, Ukrainian officials announced that a number of children had been injured by Russian shelling of the town of Okhtyrka in the eastern Sumy Oblast.
