At least 25 people were injured in a residential neighbourhood of the northeastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv when a Russian airstrike targeted it overnight, authorities said on Friday morning.

The entrance of a multi-storey residential building has been partially destroyed, the military governor of the region, Oleh Syniehubov, wrote on Telegram.

Thirty residents were evacuated overnight due to the risk of the building collapsing, he added.

Nearby buildings, vehicles and the entrance to an underground train station were also damaged.

Russia again used powerful guided bombs to attack Ukraine’s second-largest city, with further damages to buildings, businesses, vehicles and another train station recorded in another centrally located neighbourhood.
