Russian forces have killed two people in Kharkiv, Ukraine's second-largest city, whilst Ukrainian drones have killed at least three in Russia's Voronezh region.

Russian forces have launched strikes on Kharkiv, Ukraine's second-largest city, killing two people and injuring four, Mayor Ihor Terekhov says. Three strikes hit a city district, damaging a high-rise apartment block and private homes. The city lies about 30km from the Russian border and is frequently attacked by Russian artillery and drones.

In neighbouring Dnipropetrovsk region, Governor Oleksandr Hanzha said Russian forces had launched more than 50 drone and artillery attacks. A drone strike in the city of Pavlohrad killed one person and wounded ten, with three of the injured seriously hurt.

In response, Ukrainian drones have struck Russia's Voronezh region, killing at least three people and injuring many more. A train travelling from Anapa on the Black Sea to Moscow was hit when debris from a downed drone fell on it whilst it was travelling through a suburb of Voronezh. The Russian railway company RZD said one carriage was damaged. Of the 39 injured in the attack, most were on the train. Russian media reported that the train carried footballers from Lokomotiv Moscow returning from an away match. Rail traffic in the region was temporarily suspended. Governor Aleksandr Gusev said a business centre also caught fire during the attacks, and that 113 drones were shot down in the region.
