A Russian drone attack on a furniture store in Kharkiv injured at least four people in the city’s Kyivskyi district on Friday.
Oleh Syniehubov, head of Kharkiv Oblast Military Administration, confirmed the attack on Telegram just before 4 p.m. on Sept. 26 – although at that time emergency services had only identified two victims.
Kharkiv Mayor Ihor Terekhov, also on Telegram, said that a municipal bus carrying passengers was also damaged.
“According to preliminary information, there are no victims among them,” the mayor added.
Syniehubov subsequently posted that medics were treating three women who had been injured in the attack, before reporting that a fourth person was being treated several minutes later.
Terekhov confirmed that the attack had four casualties – and said that the Russian drone used in the attack is believed to be a “Molniya” drone, although authorities are still investigating.
Prior to the latest attack, Russia also targeted Kharkiv - Ukraine’s second city - as part of a large-scale drone assault in the early hours of Thursday morning.
A 59-year-old man was killed in Kharkiv region during the attack, when a drone struck a municipal building in the frontline village of Prykolotne, Kupiansk district.
Also on Friday, Syniehubov said that two people – a 59-year-old man and an 83-year-old woman – had been hospitalized after a guided aerial bomb struck the village of Bilyi Kolodyaz, in the northeast Kharkiv region.
