Kharkiv has been at the forefront of Russian strikes since the outbreak of the full-scale invasion. The city has come under several deadly attacks over the winter as Russia launched mass missile strikes against Ukraine.

The air raid alert sounded in Kharkiv shortly after 9 p.m. local time.

The same district came under attack on March 27, when Russia used a glide munition, killing one civilian man and injuring at least 19 others.
