At least seven injured after drone attack on medical facility in Kharkiv

At least seven people have been injured in a Russian overnight drone attack on Ukraine’s Kharkiv region, medical officials said on Saturday. 

The attack damaged a medical facility, residential buildings, shops and other civilian infrastructure facilities.

Rescuers and volunteers worked to clear debris after the assault. 

Local authorities report that one of the drones hit a three-story medical facility, causing a fire on the roof. 

Rescuers evacuated at least 64 people from the building, including 56 patients and a child, officials said. 

The Kharkiv Regional Prosecutor’s Office reports that two six-year-old children were among the wounded. 

Regional governors reported further Russian attacks in Zaporizhzhia, Donetsk, Sumy, Odesa, Cherniv, Cherkasy and Kyiv, according to Ukrainian media. 

154 Shahed-type drones were launched against Ukraine overnight, Ukraine’s Air Force said, with 103 reportedly being shot down and 51 lost without causing damage. 

The on-the-ground attacks come as Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelenskyy travels to the United Kingdom for talks with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer for talks ahead of a crisis summit of European leaders on Sunday.
