Russian forces attacked a civilian enterprise in Kharkiv with a Shahed drone, leaving two people killed, seven wounded, city mayor Ihor Terekhov reported on March 11.
Updated at 9:30 a.m.: Kharkiv governor Oleh Synehubov reported that the number of victims had risen to seven. Two more wounded — 33-year-old and 36-year-old men — were taken to the hospital.
"A Shahed drone strike on the private sector of the Shevchenkivskyi district has been recorded. Information about the strike aftermath is being updated," Terekhov wrote earlier.
On the night of March 7, Russia deliberately struck a five-story building in the Kyivskyi district of Kharkiv with a missile, as a result of which one of the entrances was completely destroyed.
The building was targeted with a new Izdelie 30 missile, which has a range of 1500 km and an 800 kg warhead.
At least 11 people died in the attack, including a 7-year-old boy and a 13-year-old girl.
Ministry of Internal Affairs data indicated that four people remain missing; cynologists with search dogs will continue to work after the completion of the rescue operation. 16 people were injured, including three children.
