Four people were injured in a Russian airstrike on Kharkiv last night. The strike caused a fire on the territory of a private enterprise and damaged residential buildings, Ukrainian authorities said, as quoted by Reuters and Ukrinform. Kharkiv has been under constant Russian shelling since the beginning of the war, BTA reported.
A 62-year-old woman was hospitalized, and a 66-year-old man was injured by falling debris from a downed Russian drone, which also caused material damage to several residential buildings in the Kharkiv region (the area around the city - ed.), the regional administration of the Kharkiv region reported.
Shortly after midnight, emergency and rescue teams were called to the territory of a private enterprise, where a fire broke out in a Russian drone attack, Kharkiv Mayor Igor Terekhov reported on the "Telegram" application.
According to emergency and rescue services, the flames have engulfed industrial buildings. Two people are in a state of severe shock, including a child, they added. It is not yet clear which building is burning. Video footage shows large plumes of smoke billowing from a building that looks like an industrial site.
There has been no comment from Russia so far. Both sides deny attacking civilians in the nearly three-year-long war that began with Moscow's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
Two women and two men were injured in Russian attacks on Zaporizhia region in southeastern Ukraine, regional governor Ivan Fyodorov said on Telegram. In the past 24 hours, Russia has carried out 362 strikes on settlements in the region, he added. Russia has also attacked the Black Sea port of Odessa with drones. Damage has been caused to residential buildings and cars. According to initial reports, no one was injured, the mayor of Odessa said on Telegram.
