Russian forces launch second consecutive night of drone strikes on Ukraine’s Kharkiv, injuring 14

Russian forces launched another drone strike on the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv in the early hours of Thursday. The attack lasted about an hour and a half, according to Mayor Ihor Terekhov. Eleven strikes were recorded.

“Fires broke out in residential areas and on the grounds of educational institutions. In some cases, debris landed right next to playgrounds. One strike damaged the elevator shaft of a high-rise building; another destroyed part of a non-residential structure and a public transport stop,” Terekhov wrote on Telegram.

According to Ukraine’s State Emergency Service, 14 people were injured in the attack, including four children.

A day earlier, Russian drone strikes in Kharkiv killed four people and wounded more than 60.
