Kiev [Ukraine], October 14: At least three people were killed and 11 others injured in yet another Russian airstrike on the eastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv, Ukrainian authorities said on Tuesday. A missile strike hit a four-storey residential building, the regional administration said. People could still be buried in the rubble and rescue workers are at the scene, it said. Kharkiv has repeatedly been the target of massive Russian airstrikes. In the capital Kiev, Mayor Vitali Klitschko also reported damage to a residential building after a Russian drone attack. In western Ukraine, three residential buildings caught fire in the Lviv region after a drone attack, according to the civil defence. There was initially no information on injuries, it said. Ukraine's air defence said in the morning that 88 of 108 Russian drone attacks had been intercepted.
