Ukraine Recap: Kharkiv Region Shelled as NATO Chief Extends Term

At least 31 people, including nine children, were wounded by Russian shelling in the town of Pervomaiskyi in Ukraine’s northeastern Kharkiv region, according to local authorities.

Amid the continuing fighting, NATO extended Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg’s term by a year. “In a more dangerous world, our great alliance is more important than ever,” Stoltenberg, whose extension was the third in the Norwegian’s tenure as the North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s chief, said in a statement.
