The city of Kharkiv in eastern Ukraine is only about 35 kilometers from the border with Russia. At night, the city was again targeted by Russian air attacks.
More than 20 people were reported injured in a Russian drone strike in the eastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv. The attacks hit the city overnight, damaging several buildings and starting fires, Mayor Ihor Terekhov and the regional military government said, according to Ukrainian media. A nine-story residential building was evacuated after it was hit.
Ukraine has been fighting the Russian invasion for more than three and a half years. Russian airstrikes spread fear and terror in neighboring countries, especially at night. Kharkiv is only about 35 kilometers from the Russian border and is often the target of fire. Before the war started in February 2022, Ukraine’s second largest city had a population of 1.4 million. After the battle started, many of them fled. According to authorities, around 1.3 million people now live in Kharkiv.
