Russian forces killed two people and wounded nearly two dozen others - including two children and a pregnant woman - in separate attacks, Ukrainian officials said Tuesday.

A married couple aged 45 and 48 were killed in Sloviansk in the eastern Donetsk region, a key prize for the Kremlin, which has concentrated its firepower there.

Their 20-year-old son survived the attack in the region the Kremlin claims to have annexed, local prosecutors said.

A Russian drone barrage meanwhile wounded nearly two dozen people in the southern city of Odesa, the governor said.

The Black Sea city key for Ukrainian exports has been pummeled routinely by Russian forces since they invaded Ukraine nearly four years ago.
