Russian attack kills 3, injures 22 in Ukraine's Kharkiv — infant, teen, and rescuer among victims

The minister noted that the Russian attack killed three people. One of the dead is a 32-year-old man. Two other bodies still need to be identified. Preliminary information suggests they are women aged 59 and 86.

"The final answer will come from the forensic examination. Police forensic experts have already collected biological material," Klymenko said.

As of 2:40 PM Kyiv time, there are 22 injured in Kharkiv. They include a 14-year-old girl and an infant, just one and a half months old. Also among the injured is a rescuer who was hurt while responding to the aftermath of the attack.

"From the first minutes, rescuers, police officers, and medics have been on site. They are working nonstop. The State Emergency Service has deployed an operational headquarters. Emergency rescue operations continue at two locations. Psychologists are helping the victims overcome shock and fear," the Minister of Internal Affairs added.

Powerful Russian strike on Kharkiv

On the night of June 7, Russian forces launched a massive strike on Kharkiv. The city's mayor called it the strongest attack since the full-scale war began.

According to the prosecutor's office, Russia fired over 50 drones, four guided bombs, and one missile at Kharkiv. Two districts were hit.

In the Kyivskyi district, a company was attacked, causing a large fire. Five workers were injured — three women and two men. Six more people may still be trapped inside the facility.

In the Osnovianskyi district, a drone strike hit a nine-story residential building.
