A Russian drone strike killed the wife, daughter, and infant grandson of a fire chief in northern Ukraine's Chernihiv region, as Moscow intensified overnight attacks on civilian areas, including the city of Kharkiv.
A Russian drone strike has killed the family of a local fire chief in the northern Ukrainian town of Pryluky, located in the Chernihiv region, Ukraine's interior minister reported on Thursday.
Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko stated that the fire chief’s wife, daughter, and one-year-old grandson lost their lives in the attack.
"On this terrible night, the rescuer was on duty with his team, responding to the aftermath of the strikes," Klymenko wrote on Telegram, offering his condolences.
According to regional governor Viacheslav Chaus, the family was among five victims killed when six Russian drones targeted the town overnight. Another six people were hospitalised.
Northern and eastern regions of Ukraine continue to face regular Russian drone and missile attacks in the ongoing war, now in its fourth year.
In a separate incident, another Russian drone strike hit the northeastern city of Kharkiv, injuring 18 people, including four children, Klymenko added.
Kharkiv Mayor Ihor Terekhov said the attack damaged seven residential buildings, with two taking direct hits.
"It flew into our neighbours’ flat. My child and I managed to escape into the hallway," said local resident Anastasiia Meleshchenko, recounting how the ceiling began to collapse.
"Just yesterday, repair workers had finished restoring my flat from the previous attack," she added.
Outside, damaged vehicles lined the street as emergency workers assessed the destruction.
