Russian authorities have said more than 30 drones were shot down over the country’s western regions overnight into Sunday, just hours after a Russian bomb attack on Ukraine’s second largest city of Kharkiv killed three people and left dozens in hospital.
One of the four aerial bombs hit a five-storey residential building on Saturday afternoon, officials said. Regional governor Oleh Syniehubov said 41 people are still being treated for injuries.
