The number of those injured in an overnight Russian drone attack on Kharkiv has increased to 57.

Kharkiv Mayor Ihor Terekhov said this in a post on Telegram, Ukrinform reports.

"The number of those injured as a result of the overnight attack has already reached 57. These people are residents of Kotelna Street, whom Russia left without anything yesterday evening: without a home, without documents, without money, without personal belongings," Terekhov wrote.

Earlier, Terekhov said that the city was ready to provide housing to all those who were left homeless as a result of the Russian terrorist attack.

Earlier reports said that 15 private homes in Kharkiv had burned down as a result of Russian kamikaze drones hitting an oil depot and a fuel leak that ensued.

Seven people were killed, including three children. Fifty people were evacuated.
