A drone attack on Ukraine’s second-largest city of Kharkiv left one woman wounded, Mayor Ihor Terekhov said on Telegram on Monday evening, and early on Tuesday, Kyiv authorities issued an air raid alert, asking people to seek shelter.
Reuters could not independently verify details of the latest strikes.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy warned last week that Russia was preparing a massive attack, as he seeks support from the Western allies for a peace deal while also pushing for Ukraine’s fast-track admission to the European Union.
