Ukraine-Russia war latest: Kharkiv hit by Russian strike hours after Moscow airports closed by drone attack
A busy Kharkiv market was engulfed in flames after Russia launched a massive drone and missile attack on the region.
At least four people were injured after the Barabashovo market was struck overnight, according to Kharkiv’s governor Oleg Synegubov.
Ukraine launched a massive drone attack against Moscow for the second night in a row as the Russian capital’s four airports were forced to close over safety concerns.
At least 19 Ukrainian drones were downed over Moscow after 105 were launched across Russia overnight, the Russian defence ministry said. Airports in a number of regional cities were also closed.
It comes as the Kremlin claimed Kyiv has not said whether it would abide by Putin’s unilateral call for a ceasefire from Thursday to Saturday, to coincide with commemorations of the Second World War.
Last week, Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky said the proposed 72-hour truce was not serious.
Russia has so far rejected an unconditional 30-day ceasefire agreed to by Ukraine and pushed by the US.
