Late on Friday, Russia unleashed a massive drone attack targeting Kharkiv, Ukraine's second-largest city. The assault struck a high-rise apartment block, triggering fires and injuring 46 individuals, as confirmed by local officials.

The continuous airstrikes, decried by President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, have plagued several Ukrainian cities. Zelenskiy criticized the sluggish response of international allies in bolstering Ukraine's air defenses.
