An overnight Russian drone attack on Ukraine’s second-largest city Kharkiv killed six people and wounded 10 others, national emergency services and the city’s mayor said Saturday.

The State Emergency Service of Ukraine said in a Telegram post that “six people were killed and at least 10 injured as a result of an enemy strike”.

Kharkiv mayor Igor Terekhov gave the same death toll and number of injured in a Telegram post, adding the attack had targeted Shevchenkivskyi, a northern area of the city.

Terekhov said Iranian-made drones had carried out the attack, hitting at least nine high-rise buildings, three dormitories and a petrol station.
Oleg Synegubov, the region’s governor, said earlier two men were killed in Shevchenkivskyi.
