A major Russian drone-and-missile strike hit the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv on Saturday, killing at least three people and injuring 21 others, according to local officials.
Kharkiv’s mayor, Ihor Terekhov, said the latest barrage damaged 18 apartment blocks and 13 private houses, according to news agency Associated Press.
The mayor also confirmed that the assault involved 48 Iranian-made Shahed drones, two missiles, and four aerial glide bombs.
This comes just a day after a deadly overnight drone strike on the northern Ukrainian city of Pryluky, where five people including a one-year-old child were killed and six others injured. The drones struck residential areas, causing severe damage. Hours later, another Russian strike wounded at least 17 people in Kharkiv, including children, a pregnant woman, and a 93-year-old woman.
