Six people were killed and 11 more are hospitalized Saturday following a wave of overnight Russian drone strikes on the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv, Mayor Ihor Terekhov said.
Nine apartment buildings and three dormitories were struck in two deadly assaults by Iranian-made Shahed attack drones on Ukraine’s second-largest city, Terekhov said in a post on Telegram.
Also struck were two kindergartens, two schools, a gas station and several dozen shops, he said.
City first responders as well as members of the Ukrainian State Emergency Service, police and volunteer organizations are all working at the scenes of destruction, the mayor said.
