A 14-year-old boy was killed and 12 other people wounded in a Russian rocket attack on the small town of Hlukhiv in Ukraine's northeastern Sumy region on Saturday, the Ukraine prosecutors' office said.

The attack on the town near the Russian border hit apartment blocks, houses, an educational institution, a shop and vehicles at around 12:40 p.m. (0940 GMT), the prosecutors' office said. Six of the wounded were also children, it added.

Reuters could not confirm the account independently.

Hlukhiv is about 10 km (6 miles) from the border with Russia, which has been regularly shelling Ukrainian frontier regions in recent months. There was no immediate comment from Russia.

Vice President Kamala Harris is holding her first fundraiser since becoming the Democrats' likely White House nominee, looking to build on a record week of contributions since President Joe Biden ended his campaign for reelection.

Harris was traveling to Pittsfield, Massachusetts, on Saturday in anticipation of raising more than $1.4 million, her campaign announced, from an expected audience of about 800 people. That would be $1 million-plus more than the original goal set for the event before Biden dropped out of the race.

Plans called for musician James Taylor to introduce Harris at a fundraiser that was to feature many of the state's Democratic heavyweights, including Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Ed Markey, former Gov. Deval Patrick, and Rep. Richie Neal.

Harris took in more than $100 million in donations in the first 48 hours after Biden quit the race, a presidential record, and aides said she has continued to raise money at a steady clip.
