At least seven people were injured in the attack on Kharkiv, which was mainly directed against energy facilities, according to local officials and President Volodymyr Zelensky. At the city's largest hospital, about fifty patients were evacuated when the bombs hit, according to information from Kharkiv's governor Oleh Synehubov, as reported by AP.
Further south, in the Kherson region, which is partially occupied by Russia, a UN column was attacked, but without any casualties.
"The occupiers deliberately targeted Unocha trucks with drones and artillery. Four white, marked vehicles - not military equipment, but cars with emergency aid", writes Oleksandr Prokudin, who is the head of the region's military administration, in a post on social media.
The UN condemns the attack and notes that it may be a war crime.
"Such attacks are completely unacceptable. Humanitarian workers are protected by international humanitarian law and must never be attacked", says Matthias Schmale, the UN's humanitarian coordinator for Ukraine in a statement.
