Missiles and drones pounded the northeastern city, located about 19 miles from the Russian border, killing three people and injuring as many as 21.
Regional governor, Oleg Synegubov, said those wounded included at least two children.
Aerial glide bombs – which fly over long distances after being released by planes – were also deployed in the attack, the latest in near daily widescale assaults by Russia.
Mayor Ihor Terekhov wrote at 2am on Telegram: ‘Kharkiv is currently experiencing the most powerful attack in the entire time of the full-scale war.
‘As of this moment, at least 40 explosions have been heard in the city in an hour and a half.

‘The enemy is simultaneously striking with missiles, “Shaheds” [Iranian-made drones] and guided aerial bombs.’
Terekhov said 18 blocks of flats and 13 private homes were damaged in the attack.
Citing preliminary data, he said Russia deployed 48 Shahed drones, two missiles and four aerial glide bombs.
The intensity of the Russian attacks on Ukraine over the past weeks has further dampened hopes that the warring sides could reach a peace deal soon – especially after Ukraine recently embarrassed the Kremlin with a surprising drone attack on military airfields deep inside Russia.
