**Russia Launches Attack on Kharkiv, Injuring at Least 6 People**
In a developing story, Russia launched an attack on the city of Kharkiv overnight with drones and ballistic missiles. The attack resulted in at least six people being injured, including a child.
According to local authorities, the strikes targeted the Kholodnohirskyi district of Kharkiv, where six people were hurt, including a 7-year-old boy. Two Russian ballistic missiles also struck the Kyivskyi district, hitting a road and causing damage to high-rise buildings.
The attack caused significant damage, with several homes, a civilian enterprise, and vehicles being hit. However, the full extent of the casualties and damage is still under investigation.
**President Zelensky Warns of Potential Mass Strike**
Earlier in the day, President Volodymyr Zelensky warned that Russia may be preparing for another mass strike against Ukraine. He noted that there had been intelligence about a potential Russian attack before it happened.
“Even before the start of this operation, we had intelligence about the preparation of another Russian massive strike,” Zelensky said in his evening address. “And it is very important for all our people not to ignore aerial alerts.”
**Russia’s Aerial Assault on Ukraine**
This attack comes as part of a larger pattern of repeated large-scale aerial assaults by Russia against Ukraine. The city of Kharkiv and its surrounding region have been hit multiple times in recent days, with the previous night seeing nearly 500 Russian drones launched at Ukraine.
Kharkiv Oblast has been a regular target for Russian missile and drone attacks, with densely populated neighborhoods being frequently hit. This attack on Kharkiv is just another example of Russia’s disregard for civilian life and infrastructure.
