(Reuters) -Russian shelling on Thursday killed three people and injured nine in a village in northeastern Ukraine's Kharkiv region, regional prosecutors said.

A statement said one person died of his injuries in hospital after the attack on the village of Borova, southeast of Kharkiv. Kharkiv is Ukraine's second largest city and a frequent target of Russian strikes.

The Interior Ministry had earlier reported emergency services were working at the site of the initial attack when Moscow's troops shelled it again. Three rescuers were among the injured.

Prosecutors also reported that five people were injured in a Russian airstrike on the city of Kharkiv's Kyivskyi district.

Officials in the adjacent border region of Sumy said Russian forces had pounded border areas 57 times throughout the day, with an attack by glide bombs killing one person near the town of Yampil.

Sumy region lies opposite southern Russia's Kursk region, where Ukrainian forces are engaged in an incursion launched last month.

Houthis Release Video of Drone Striking Oil Tanker in Red Sea
Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels released footage on October 3 showing an uncrewed surface vessel, or drone boat, striking a ship they described as a “British” oil tanker, the Cordelia Moon, in the Red Sea two days earlier on October 1.A port-side ballast tank on the vessel was damaged in the incident, according to the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO).The Houthis said the ship was targeted by eight ballistic and winged missiles, a drone, and a uncrewed boat. The attack was carried out in support of Lebanese and Palestinian “resistance” forces, and in response to American and British attacks on Houthi forces, they said in a statement. The Houthis described the tanker as British, but marine traffic websites say the vessel is registered in Panama.Storyful could not independently verify who owns the vessel.A second ship, Minoan Courage, was targeted by a missile in the same area of the Red Sea, UKMTO said.The Houthis also said they struck a third vessel, a container ship named Marathopolis, with a drone in the Indian Ocean, and said it was because the ship continued to trade in Israel.
