Ukrainian authorities said 10 people were injured in the attack on the eastern border city.
Six civilians were killed and 10 injured in a Russian attack on Ukraine's second-largest city, Kharkiv, regional officials said.
Ukraine's National Police said the attack early Saturday morning was carried out by a drone. It posted photos of fires that occurred on city streets and next to buildings.
“As of this morning, six people were killed and 10 injured in the overnight attack in Shevchenkivsky district,” Kharkiv Mayor Igor Terekhov said on the messaging app Telegram.
“The attack hit a residential area, damaging at least nine high-rise buildings, three dormitories, numerous administrative buildings, shops, gas stations, gas stations and cars,” he said.
Photos posted by police on Telegram showed multiple fires in civilian areas, including near high-rise residential buildings. The strike took place just after midnight, according to local news reports.
Ukraine's military said on Facebook that its air defense forces had destroyed 28 of 32 drones and three of six missiles launched by Russia.
Meanwhile, police said there were no casualties in a separate attack on Mala Danilivka, a village on the northwestern outskirts of Kharkiv.
Air raid warnings remained in place for several hours after the airstrike in most parts of the country, including Kharkov and the capital Kiev.
Kharkiv, the capital of the region of the same name, is located just 30 kilometers (19 miles) from the Russian border and has been under frequent shelling since Moscow launched its invasion in February 2022.
Attacks have intensified in recent weeks. On Wednesday, a drone attack on the city killed four people and caused extensive damage to an apartment complex.
President Volodymyr Zelensky's chief of staff Andriy Yermak told the news agency Politico in an interview published Thursday that Kharkov is the most likely target of a new Russian attack in May or June. He said he was watching.
Ukrainian officials are calling on the country's allies to supply more air defense systems, especially the latest U.S.-made Patriot system.
U.S. military aid to Ukraine is drying up, and a $60 billion funding plan is currently stalled in Congress due to fierce Republican opposition.
