Massive Drone Strike in Kharkiv Causes Casualties and Destruction
A series of drone attacks in Kharkiv injures eight, including children, and damages residential and industrial buildings.
A significant drone assault in Kharkiv, Ukraine, has resulted in injuries to at least eight individuals, including three children.
The local mayor, Ihor Terehov, reported that multiple residential buildings and two industrial facilities were damaged during the attacks, which employed 13 Shahed drones targeting the Kholodnohirsk district.
Fire has erupted across the city as a direct consequence of the strikes, with significant damage to private sector infrastructure.
The State Emergency Service confirmed three fatalities, including one infant.
Governor Oleh Synyehubov provided further details, indicating that the drone strikes were part of a coordinated assault that also affected the city of Odesa.
Eyewitness accounts reported at least 15 explosions during the night as drone activity intensified.
Synyehubov noted that one of the drones hit a private home, igniting a fire that quickly spread to a four-story building, affecting an area of approximately 1,000 square meters.
In addition, another structure covering 500 square meters was also reported to be on fire.
The ongoing drone bombardments have resumed after a brief pause, drawing international attention to the escalating conflict.
In a related development, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced that Ukraine has provided the United States with evidence alleging that Russia has violated ceasefire agreements related to attacks on the energy sector.
Meanwhile, in Greece, severe storms have led to intense flooding across several islands, including Paros and Mykonos.
Local authorities are engaged in recovery efforts, clearing overturned vehicles and debris in the wake of heavy rainfall and hailstorms.
Crete has experienced the most damage, with landslides obstructing roads and emergency teams rescuing stranded individuals.
Flooding has prompted the Greek government to request urgent assistance for infrastructure repairs.
The adverse weather conditions have resulted in school closures across multiple islands and have disrupted ferry services.
Reports detail that the heaviest rainfall in a 24-hour period was recorded near the port of Chania, with some areas of Mykonos receiving up to 71.6 millimeters of rain, 65 of which fell within a two-hour window.
This weather event follows recent seismic activity in the region, including a series of earthquakes affecting Santorini and nearby islands.
