An overnight Russian drone strike has destroyed buildings and homes in three districts in the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv.

In the northern Shevchenkivskyi district of Ukraine’s second-largest city, local prosecutors recorded at least three missile strikes, which destroyed two houses and set fire to outbuildings and a nearby forest.

In the Industrialnyi district, a bomb is reported to have fallen between a kindergarten and a school, and in the Saltivka district, residents and volunteers are repairing the smashed windows of multiple buildings.

There have been no reports of any casualties so far.

Meanwhile, in Zaporizhzhia, some twelve settlements are dealing with the aftermath of Russian aerial attacks, during which one 74-year-old was killed and two 67-year-old were injured.

According to the regional military administration, the Russian army conducted 161 attacks on the territory.

Six aerial attacks struck Komyshuvakha, Yulivka, Hryhorivka, Piatykhatky, Zherebianky and Novodarivka, while eight attacks from multiple rocket launchers were recorded in Robotyne and Huliaipole.

There were 80 artillery attacks on the territories of Huliaipole, Orikhovе, Novoandriivka, Robotyne, Mala Tokmachka, Malynivka and Levadne, and the local administration says it received 32 reports of the destruction of residential buildings and infrastructure.

Russia’s Ministry of Defence has also released footage of what it says shows Russian Supercam drones striking Ukrainian army equipment and military dugouts.

It also claims to have shot down ten Baba Yaga hexocopters belonging to the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Euronews could not independently verify these claims.

It comes as the coast guards from China and Russia continue conducting joint drills in the waters near the Peter the Great Gulf in the Sea of Japan, which started on Monday and will end on Friday.

According to the Beijing government-affiliated Centre for China and Globalisation (CCG), the drills and patrol tasks are not aimed at any third party and are “unrelated to the current international and regional situations”.
