- Story Text: An infant, a child and six other civilians were injured in a Russian drone attack on Kharkiv, regional officials said on Wednesday (April 2), in what seemed to be the latest in a series of bombings of the city not far from Russia's border.
Oleh Sinehubov, governor of the Kharkiv region of which the city of Kharkiv is the administrative centre, said that a nine-month-old infant and a seven-year-old boy were among the injured.
The attacks came as both sides accuse each other of breaking a U.S.-brokered partial ceasefire on strikes on energy and Black Sea infrastructure.
Russia has also recently intensified its strikes on Kharkiv, Ukraine's second-largest city, with its attacks killing at least two people over the weekend and injuring tens of civilians.
