KHARKIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russian shelling has pounded a densely populated area in Ukraine’s second-largest city, as well as several other cities across the country. Local authorities in Kharkiv said at least three people were killed and 23 injured during a barrage on Thursday that struck a mosque, a medical facility, a bus stop and a shopping area. Police said cluster bombs hit a public market. The attack came a day after a top Russian envoy declared that Russia is seeking to carve out more territory in Ukraine. Turkey, meanwhile, said a deal on a U.N. plan to unblock the exports of Ukrainian grain and to allow Russia to export grain and fertilizers will be signed Friday in Istanbul.
