Russian Drone Barrage Kills 3 in Ukraine's Second-Largest City
An overnight Russian drone barrage that targeted Kharkiv, Ukraine, on Wednesday killed three people, set cars and buildings on fire and sent exhausted residents running to bomb shelters, according to the local authorities. Russia has been increasing the scale of missile and drone attacks for months, with nightly attacks on various regions and cities in Ukraine. On Tuesday, it hit Kyiv, the capital, with one of the most intensive drone barrages of the war. On Wednesday, Ukraine's Air Force reported that its air defense units had shot down 49 out of 85 drones launched by Russia during the overnight assault on Kharkiv, Ukraine's second-largest city. Russian forces also launched an Iskander-M ballistic missile from Russia's Kursk region, according to the Ukrainian Air Force. Most of the damage from the overnight assault was reported in Kharkiv, but the barrage also affected the Donetsk region, near the front line, and the Odesa region, the air force said. It confirmed strikes at 14 locations. In addition to the three people killed in the drone attack on Kharkiv, 64 others were wounded, including nine children, according to the local police. The drones struck a trolley bus depot, a private house and several multistory residential buildings. Fires broke out in apartments, as well as in parked vehicles and on a children's playground. Ukraine does not report strikes on military sites, so it was unclear whether any were hit in the assault. The strike on the Odesa region destroyed and damaged houses, cars and civilian boats, the local authorities said.

Russian attacks kill 3 as drones hit Kharkiv and other parts of Ukraine
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russian forces launched a fresh drone assault across Ukraine overnight Wednesday, killing three people and wounding 60 more, Ukrainian officials said. One of the hardest-hit areas was the city of Kharkiv in northeastern Ukraine, where 17 attack drones struck two residential districts, said Mayor Ihor Terekhov. Emergency crews, municipal workers and volunteers worked through the night to extinguish fires, rescue residents from burning homes, and restore gas, electricity and water services. 'Those are ordinary sites of peaceful life — those that should never be targeted,' Terekhov wrote on Telegram. Three people were confirmed killed and at least 60 injured, including nine children aged between 2 and 15, according to Kharkiv regional head Oleh Syniehubov. Kharkiv has been repeatedly targeted frequently in recent months as Russia had launched repeated large-scale drone and missile attacks on civilian infrastructure. Moscow's forces have deployed high numbers of drones and missiles in recent days, with a record bombardment of almost 500 drones on Monday and a wave of 315 drones and seven missiles overnight on Tuesday. The attacks come despite discussions of a potential ceasefire. The two sides traded memoranda at direct peace talks in Istanbul on June 2 that set out conditions. However, the inclusion of clauses that both sides see as nonstarters make any quick deal unlikely. Wednesday's strikes also caused widespread destruction in the Slobidskyi and Osnovianskyi districts, hitting apartment buildings, private homes, playgrounds, industrial sites and public transport. Images from the scene published by Ukraine's Emergency Service on Telegram showed burning apartments, shattered windows and firefighters battling the blaze. 'We stand strong. We help one another. And we will endure,' Terekhov said. 'Kharkiv is Ukraine. And it cannot be broken.' Ukraine's airforce said that 85 attack and decoy drones were fired over the country over night. Air defense systems intercepted 40 of the drones, while nine more failed to reach their targets without causing damage.
