JAKARTA - The attack by a Russian drone in Kharkiv, Ukraine's second-largest city, hit houses and sparked a fire on Thursday night.
The attack killed two people and injured 32 people, local officials said. Regional Governor Oleg Syniehubov said two children were among the injured in the city's Novobavarskyi district.
Reported by Reuters on Friday, April 4, several block apartments were affected by the impact, with the fire raging on the roof of one of the buildings. Rescue teams are combing through the rubble to search for survivors.
Meanwhile, Mayor Ihor Terekhov said the body of a third person was found under the rubble.
In addition, it was reported that one person was injured in a drone strike in Ruski Tyshky, a village outside Kharkiv.
Kharkiv, in northeastern Ukraine, has been the target of Russian drone attacks almost every night in the past week, including one hour of repeated attacks on Wednesday night.
The city survived an invasion of Russian troops through Ukraine and their failed attack on Kyiv in the early weeks of the February 2022 invasion. As Russian troops move away from the capital and focus on eastern Ukraine, the city is often targeted by airstrikes.
In the city of Dnipro in the southeast, three people were injured in a mass drone attack, the regional governor said.
While in the Zaporizhia region, further south, seven drones hit targets in the region, injuring one person, the regional governor said.
