Russian drones struck a military hospital, shopping centre, apartment blocks, and other targets in Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city, late on Saturday. The attacks resulted in the deaths of two people and injuries to at least 25 others, according to local officials and the Ukrainian military.
The Ukrainian military’s General Staff reported on Telegram that injuries occurred among servicemen undergoing treatment at a medical centre. Kharkiv Mayor Ihor Terekhov stated that one of the victims had been pulled from under rubble and placed the total number of injured at 27.
Oleh Syniehubov, the regional governor, reported 25 injuries, while prosecutors quoted by public broadcaster Suspilne estimated the number at 30. Photos posted by Suspilne showed rescue teams in protective gear searching through rubble and twisted metal outside damaged buildings.
Kharkiv, located in northeastern Ukraine, resisted capture during the early weeks of Russia’s February 2022 invasion. However, the city remains a frequent target of air attacks as Russian forces concentrate efforts on occupying larger areas of eastern Ukraine.
As attacks on civilian and military infrastructure continue, Kharkiv remains on high alert for further strikes.
