Russia carried out its largest drone strike on Ukraine’s second-largest city, Kharkiv, overnight, killing at least three people and injuring 17, according to Mayor Ihor Terekhov. The attack involved 48 drones, two missiles, and four gliding bombs, damaging multiple residential buildings. The strike follows Ukraine's recent drone offensive on four Russian air bases, which reportedly destroyed 40 aircraft. Russia claims its response targeted military facilities, citing retaliation for “terrorist acts by the Kyiv regime.” This marks a sharp escalation in hostilities, with over 400 drones and 40 missiles used across Ukraine just a day earlier in widespread attacks.
