On the night of January 24, Kharkiv came under attack by Russian drones—this was reported by the city’s mayor, Ihor Terekhov, and Ukraine’s State Emergency Service.
According to the latest information, 19 people were injured.
According to Terekhov, the raid lasted for nearly two and a half hours. The strikes hit both high-rise residential buildings and private homes. A dormitory housing displaced people, as well as a hospital and a maternity ward, were damaged. The Industrialnyi and Nemyshlianskyi districts of the city were also hit.
Russian drones also attacked Kyiv the same night—this was reported by the capital’s mayor, Vitali Klitschko, and the head of the city’s military administration, Tymur Tkachenko.
Kyiv residents spend the night in the metro during the overnight attack.
According to Klitschko, one person was killed and four others were injured in the strike. Fires broke out in the Dniprovskyi and Holosiivskyi districts, caused by falling drone debris.
The mayor also noted disruptions to heating and water supply on Kyiv’s left bank.
