Forty-five people were injured overnight as Ukraine's second largest city of Kharkiv came under a massive Russian drone attack, according to the head of Regional Administration, Oleh Syniehubov.

Kharkiv, which lies in the northeast near the Russian border and is Ukraine's second-largest city, has been the target of regular Russian drone and missile attacks since Moscow began its full-scale invasion.

Emergency services tackled huge fires in Kharkiv following overnight Russian drone strikes on Tuesday, 29 April. Footage from the State Emergency Service of Ukraine (SES) showed emergency services dousing large flames from damaged buildings as residents were assisted in areas covered in rubble.
