Video footage of the aftermath released by local authorities shows a residential building where the upper levels collapsed, with firefighters hosing it down as smoke rises from the rubble.
A partially blurred photo released by Ukraine’s emergency services appeared to show a firefighter holding the limp body of a child.
Ihor Terekhov, the mayor of Kharkiv, wrote on Telegraph that he believed the attack on the residential building was "deliberate."
"Five enemy ‘Shaheds’ approached it from different directions and targeted people who were peacefully sleeping at five in the morning," he said, referring to armed drones.

"We need to stop this war, to stop Russia. And we need support, American and European partners. We will do our best for this," Zelenskyy said.
Russia had made gains in Ukraine’s eastern Donetsk region ahead of Putin’s summit with Trump in Alaska, in a movement onlookers believed was designed to gain territorial leverage ahead of high-stakes negotiations.
But since at least the start of this month, Russia has seemingly reduced the number of drones and missiles it fires towards Ukrainian cities each night.
Trump, ahead of his meeting with Putin, had said he would be "unhappy" if the Russian leader did not agree to a ceasefire.

And while Putin did not appear to agree to a ceasefire at that meeting, Trump touted the meeting as a win and said the pair had reached agreement on a number of issues.
A United Nations report found that between December 2024 and May 2025 1,000 civilians in Ukraine, including Russian-occupied areas, had been killed.
