Russian drone attacks kill three, wound 60 in Ukraine's Kharkiv

Russian drone strikes have killed three people and wounded 60, including children, in the northeastern city of Kharkiv, officials say. The city, just 30 kilometres (18 miles) from the Russian border, bore the brunt of Russia's latest aerial assault early on Wednesday, with 17 drones striking two residential areas, Mayor Ihor Terekhov said. "Those are ordinary sites of peaceful life … that should never be targeted," he wrote on Telegram. Among the 60 wounded in the attacks were nine children aged between 2 and 15, according to Kharkiv regional head Oleh Syniehubov. One Kharkiv resident, Olena Khoruzheva, told the AFP news agency how she had run with her two children away from the windows of her building when she heard the drones approach.
