Ammon News - Russia launched a barrage of drones and missiles ​at Ukraine overnight on Saturday, killing at least ‌seven people, including two children, in the northeast city of Kharkiv, Ukrainian officials said.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said that ​Russia launched 480 drones and 29 missiles ​targeting the energy sector and railway infrastructure across ⁠the country.

"There should be a response from partners ​to these savage strikes against life," Zelenskiy said on ​the Telegram app.

"Russia has not abandoned its attempts to destroy Ukraine's residential and critical infrastructure, and therefore support should continue," ​Zelenskiy said, urging partners to continue air defence ​and weapons supplies.

Oleh Syniehubov, Kharkiv regional governor, said that seven ‌people, ⁠including two children, were killed after a Russian ballistic missile slammed into a five-storey residential building.

Rescue workers continue to work on the site, clearing the rubble, ​he said.

In ​Kharkiv, seven ⁠residential apartment houses, commercial and administrative buildings, electricity distribution lines, and cars were ​damaged by the Russian attacks, Syniehubov said.

Ukrainian ​officials ⁠said that Russia attacked four railway stations and other railway infrastructure in central Ukraine and port infrastructure in ⁠the ​southern Odesa region, setting on ​fire containers with vegetable oil and damaging a grain warehouse.
