A Russian drone attack injured nine people in Ukraine's second-largest city, Kharkiv, on Wednesday (March 25), mayor Ihor Terekhov said on the Telegram messaging app.
One of the strikes damaged a house where a 75-year-old woman lived, her daughter-in-law, Oksana Shalamova, told Reuters.
After arriving at the scene, neighbours told Shalamova that her mother-in-law was taken to a hospital with a severe shock and injuries to her face and head.
Fire crews cleared rubble from the damaged house and extinguished a fire on its upper floor.
At a separate site in the same neighbourhood, nine cars were damaged after another drone struck near a residential apartment building.
