The emergency services continue to work on the scene.
Kharkiv, located in the northeastern part of Ukraine and less than 30 km from the Russian border has been the target of Russian attacks for the past two years.
In recent months, Moscow intensified its aerial strikes, often focusing on densely populated areas.
A Russian attack on October 28 damaged the Derzhprom Building (the State Industry Building), a historical landmark that has been protected by UNESCO since 2022.
At least 15 people were injured when Russia attacked a residential neighborhood in Kharkiv’s Shevchenkivskyi District on Nov. 3.
