A warehouse by day, homes by night: Russian jet drones keep hitting Kharkiv
Five people were hurt, a 4-year-old among them, and the next day a Russian drone hit the same district again, killing one person and injuring two.
In Kharkiv’s Osnovianskyi district, a Russian jet-powered drone ignited a fire in homes overnight, resulting in injuries including a small child, according to Ukraine’s State Emergency Service (SES). Later that same day, another drone attack occurred in the same area, causing a fire that claimed one life and left two more injured, as reported by Kharkiv Mayor Ihor Terekhov.
Out of 88 Shahed-type drones launched by Russia between 18:00 on 27 October, 38 were jet-powered, with 31 downed or jammed by Ukrainian defenses by 08:00 on 28 October, the Air Force reported. Despite these efforts, Russian weapons struck eight locations in Kharkiv Oblast, causing widespread damage.
