CCTV footage released on Wednesday (May 4) showed grad rockets hitting an amusement park in Kharkiv, Ukraine's second largest city on Tuesday (May 3).

The State Emergency Services (SES) said the fire broke out in a park in central Kharkiv on Tuesday after it was hit by Russian shelling.

Reuters geolocated the fire to Maxim Gorky Central Park for Culture and Recreation.

The location of the video was verified by buildings, pleasure rides, paths and benches in the park which matched file photography from the location and satellite imagery.

According to SES, a total of seven fire engines were at the scene and eventually contained the blaze.

One woman suffered shrapnel wounds from the shelling, added SES.

Kharkiv, which lies close to Ukraine's eastern border with Russia, has seen heavy shelling since fighting broke out in late February.
