STORYLINE:
At least five people were killed and 32 injured in a Russian drone strike on Ukraine’s second-largest city of Kharkiv on Thursday night.
According to local authorities, seven strikes were recorded, resulting in damage to nearly 30 houses and an administrative building.
Fires broke out in various locations due to the shelling, destroying and damaging residential houses and cars.
Civilian areas in three other Ukrainian regions were also hit, officials said.
The Ukrainian air force said Russia fired 78 strike and decoy drones overnight.
Russia’s Defense Ministry said air defenses destroyed 107 Ukrainian drones.
Russia has effectively rejected a U.S. proposal for a full and immediate 30-day halt in the fighting.
A Kremlin official said Monday that Moscow views efforts to end its more than three-year war with Ukraine as “a drawn-out process.”
Russian forces are preparing to launch a fresh military offensive in the coming weeks to maximize pressure on Ukraine and strengthen the Kremlin’s negotiating position in the ceasefire talks, according to Ukrainian government and Western military analysts.
