Seven Killed After Russia Drone Hits Ukraine Petrol Station

At least seven people have been killed in an overnight Russian drone attack that hit a petrol station in the north-eastern city of Kharkiv, according to officials.

The drones caused large fires in a residential area in the east of the city, according to regional head Oleh Syniehubov.

Five members of one family, including a baby and two children, were among the victims, he said.

Russia’s military has made no public comments on the reported strikes.

Ukraine’s State Emergency Service said 50 people were rescued from the fire but more than a dozen houses were completely destroyed.

One man was reported injured in Ukraine’s southern city of Odesa in a separate Russian drone attack.

Russian President Vladimir Putin launched a full-scale invasion against Ukraine in February 2022.
