In northeastern Kharkiv Oblast, four people were killed and 42 others injured in Russian attacks on the city of Kharkiv and surrounding settlements, regional governor Oleh Syniehubov said.

All four fatalities in Kharkiv Oblast occurred in residential buildings.
In the capital, Kyiv, at least two people were killed and 14 others injured in drone attacks throughout the day. One strike hit a 25-story residential building in the Darnytskyi district.
Kyiv was also targeted by ballistic missiles shortly after 10 p.m. local time on Monday, with powerful explosions reported before an air raid alert was issued. Mayor Vitali Klitschko said a warehouse and railway infrastructure were damaged.
In Vinnytsia Oblast, Russian forces struck a production complex belonging to Ukrainian confectionery company Roshen, the company said.
