Russian drones struck two central districts Slobidskyi and Osnovyansk in Ukraine's second largest city Kharkiv, injuring five people in an apartment building and triggering a fire, authorities said. Kharkiv Mayor Ihor Terekhov said 22 residents had been evacuated from one section of the damaged apartment building while another drone struck an area outside a medical facility, injuring a doctor and damaging the building and nearby cars.
Public sculptures in Kharkiv are wrapped in sandbags for protection, while flowerbeds in parks are meticulously maintained, creating a juxtaposition of beauty and destruction in the city.
