Kiev, 6 April 2024 (dpa/MIA) - Further Russian drone and missile attacks have killed at least six civilians in the north-eastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv and injured others overnight, local officials said on Saturday.

Oleh Syniehubov, the military governor of Kharkiv, said on his Telegram channel on Saturday that 11 others were injured in the attacks.

Russia struck the city with converted S-300 anti-aircraft missiles, which damaged nine residential buildings, dormitories, an administrative building, a kindergarten, a café, a car wash and a petrol station, as well as several vehicles, he said.

Russia fired a total of 32 combat drones and six missiles of various types at Ukraine during the night, Kiev said. The Ukrainian Air Force said 28 drones and half of the missiles were intercepted.

In addition to Kharkiv, strikes were also reported in the Kherson and Zaporizhzhya regions, where a farm and an industrial plant were hit. No casualties or major damage were reported.

Russia has been waging a full-scale against Ukraine for more than two years, with Russian forces regularly launching strikes on Ukrainian cities well behind the front lines, killing civilians and destroying vital infrastructure.
