A large Russian attack with drones and missiles has hit Ukraine's eastern city of Kharkiv on Saturday, killing at least three people and injuring 21, local officials said. The barrage — the latest in near daily widescale attacks — included aerial glide bombs that have become part of a fierce Russian onslaught in the three-year-war .

President Trump said the Russian leader Vladimir Putin had warned that he would retaliate for a covert Ukrainian attack in Russia last weekend that destroyed dozens of Russian bombers.

Russia launched a drone strike in Kharkiv, Ukraine, days after a drone operation successfully targeted military aircraft inside Russia. The latest violent escalation comes as details emerge about Vladimir Putin's calls with President Trump and Pope Leo XIV.
