Russia attacked with 129 drones, killing three young children

A Russian drone attack killed four members of a family in the town of Bohodukhiv, west of Kharkiv. According to Ukrainian authorities, three young children and their 34-year-old father were killed.

The drone struck a family home, which was completely destroyed by the explosion and subsequently engulfed in flames. The pregnant mother was rescued from the rubble. The family had moved from a nearby village just a few days earlier.

The Ukrainian Air Force reported that Russia sent 129 drones during the night, 112 of which were shot down or neutralized.

The Kharkiv region is located near the border with Russia and faces repeated attacks. Moscow did not immediately comment on the incident, with both sides of the conflict denying deliberately targeting civilians.
