Russian drone strike on Kharkiv wounds five, damages homes

Russian forces struck Kharkiv with drones overnight, wounding five people and damaging about 10 private houses, outbuildings, and a car in the Osnovyanskyi district. A fire covering 300 square meters was extinguished by emergency services. Rescuers, psychologists, medics, police, and municipal workers responded to the scene. The attack is part of Russia's ongoing regular strikes on Kharkiv using missiles and drones, which have repeatedly targeted residential areas and civilian infrastructure. Recent attacks include an October 28 drone strike that injured five, including a four-year-old child, and an October 26 missile attack that killed two and wounded four.
