(Reuters) -Russian drones struck apartment buildings in Ukraine’s second-largest city, Kharkiv, triggering fires and injuring at least nine people, the city’s mayor said early on Thursday.
Ihor Terekhov, writing on the Telegram messaging app, said there had been six strikes in the city. One drone hit an apartment building on the 17th floor, another on the second floor.
Emergency services had been dispatched to the sites.
Reuters could not independently verify the reports. There was no immediate comment from Russia.
Kharkiv, located 30 km (18 miles) from the Russian border in northeastern Ukraine, has been a frequent target of Russian drones and missiles in the more than three-year-old war.
