A Russian drone strike on Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second largest city, killed at least seven people overnight – including three children, regional governor Oleh Syniehubov reported.

He said the Iranian-made Shahed drone hit civilian infrastructure in the Nemyshlyan district on the city, causing a massive fire that burned down 15 private houses.
