On the night of October 28, 2026, a Russian drone struck a multi-story residential building in Kharkiv.

According to Syniehubov, fires broke out in three buildings in the city's Osnovyansky district: a production facility, a two-story apartment building, and a one-story residential structure.

Casualties

According to Syniehubov, four people were injured in the attack: two women aged 32 and 65, a 56-year-old man, and a four-year-old boy. Three of them required hospital treatment. Mayor Terekhov confirmed the drone hit on the apartment building and, citing preliminary data, said that people remained inside the building who were unable to get out.

Simultaneously with the strike on Kharkiv, the Ukrainian Air Force warned of a threat of ballistic weapons being used from the Bryansk region toward Kyiv, but later canceled this warning. According to the Air Force, attacks continued using jet-powered drones and guided aerial bombs in the direction of the Kharkiv and Dnipropetrovsk regions, as well as Kyiv and the Kyiv region.
