Russian drone attacks on Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city, have led to at least four deaths and over 30 injuries, including a child. The strikes took place on April 3, 2025, targeting residential and administrative buildings in the city’s Novobavarskyi district.
The attacks caused massive fires that engulfed more than 600 square meters of buildings. Emergency services were quick to respond, and efforts to contain the flames were ongoing throughout the night. The ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine has seen similar drone strikes as part of Russia’s military strategy to destabilize Ukrainian regions.
This attack marks a continuation of Russia’s aggressive tactics, as it seeks to expand its influence in the ongoing conflict. International condemnation continues to grow, with many calling for stronger measures against Russian aggression.
The situation remains tense, and officials are bracing for further developments. The Ukrainian government has pledged to continue its defense of Kharkiv and other key cities under threat.
