Russian Drone Strikes Injure 15 in Kharkiv Region

On March 26, a series of Russian drone attacks targeted Kharkiv, Ukraine's second-largest city, resulting in injuries to at least nine people and significant damage to residential areas and infrastructure. The strikes ignited multiple fires, prompting emergency services to respond quickly to combat the blazes, with Mayor Ihor Terekhov reporting at least 12 separate drone strikes. Additionally, a drone attack in the nearby village of Zolochiv caused injuries to at least three individuals, including a minor, and left several homes damaged. The situation has raised alarms regarding the ongoing military aggression from Russia, particularly in this region, which has frequently been a target due to its proximity to the Russian border.
