Russian forces launched a drone attack on Kharkiv overnight on June 24, injuring three people and damaging civilian infrastructure, Mayor Ihor Terekhov said.
The first explosions were reported around 2:00 a.m. local time, with three civilian injuries confirmed by 4:00 a.m., according to local officials.
Seven Iranian-made Shahed drones were launched at the city, three of which struck their targets, Terekhov said.
The strikes damaged a civilian enterprise in the Saltivka district and residential buildings in Nemyshlianskyi.
Emergency services responded to the affected sites.
In recent weeks, Moscow has been intensifying attacks against Kharkiv – Ukraine's second-largest city – which sits just over 20 kilometers (15 miles) from the Russian border.
A Russian drone attack against the city overnight on June 12 injured at least 15 people, including children.
