A 34-year-old man in the same house as the children also died from his wounds, Synegubov said on Telegram.

He added that a 74-year-old woman was wounded and was receiving medical assistance.

In an earlier statement, he also said a 35-year-old pregnant woman had been wounded in the strike.

Bogodukhiv is located in Kharkiv region, where Russian forces have recently stepped up attacks on transport and energy infrastructure.

Ukrainian and Russian officials have held U.S.-mediated talks in Abu Dhabi aimed at ending Moscow’s four-year invasion.

The two sides conducted a prisoner swap last week, though an agreement to draw a line under the conflict still seems a way off.

According to the UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine (HRMMU), around 15,000 Ukrainian civilians have been killed since Russia invaded in February 2022.

HRMMU said that 2025 was the deadliest year with more than 2,500 civilians killed.
