Dozens were injured and buildings damaged after a Russian drone targeted multiple districts in Ukraine’s second-largest city.

At least 47 people have been injured, including eight hospitalized, after a Russian drone strike hit the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv.

Authorities said the attack struck 12 locations across four city districts — Kyivskyi, Osnovianskyi, Slobidskyi, and Saltivskyi. Several homes, shops, and vehicles were damaged, and fires broke out in some areas. First responders were dispatched to the scenes.

Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city, has faced repeated air assaults since the start of the full-scale war, with Russia intensifying strikes in recent weeks.

Ukrainian officials have renewed calls for stronger air defense support to protect major cities like Kharkiv from continued aerial attacks.
