Ukraine's State Emergency Service, police, medical teams, and utility workers are actively responding at the scene.
“Today, more than a dozen drones have hit our Kharkiv, one of the largest cities in Ukraine,” Governor Oleh Syniehubov wrote on Telegram following the attack. “No country should have to go through this.”
Kharkiv, located less than 30 miles from the Russian border, remains a frequent target of Russian drone, missile, and glide bomb attacks.
