Among the dead are two children. Another 20 people were injured, according to Kharkiv Mayor Ihor Terekhov.
“The strike on the residential building was deliberate — five enemy Shahed drones approached it from different directions and hit people who were peacefully sleeping at five in the morning,” Terekhov wrote.
According to the regional military administration, four drones slammed directly into the five-story apartment block.
