Russia bombarded Ukraine’s second-largest city with massive strikes in the early hours of Saturday, its mayor said, killing at least three people, one night after Moscow carried out one of the war’s largest aerial assaults on Ukraine.

Russia attacked the eastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv at night and in the evening with drones, missiles and guided bombs, killing at least four people and injuring more than 60, including a baby, local officials said on Saturday.

The attacks on Kharkiv, which is located just 30 kilometers from the Russian border, were intense, with Mayor Igor Terekhov reporting "at least 40 explosions" in the early hours of Saturday.
