In a devastating series of events, a Russian drone strike targeted Kharkiv, Ukraine, killing seven people, including three children aged 7, 4, and a 7-month-old boy. The strike, which occurred overnight, hit a petrol station, causing a massive fire that spread over 3700 square meters to residential areas. Among the victims were an entire family, including 35-year-old Olha Putyatina, a Prosecutor of Chuhuiv District Prosecutor's Office, her husband, and their three children, who were burned alive. The fire's intensity was such that the infant's body could not be found, and DNA testing is being used to identify the victims. Ukrainian air defense reported shooting down 40 out of 45 Shahed drones during the attack, out of 31 drones that were in the skies, with 23 intercepted. The mayor of Kharkiv declared February 11 a day of mourning in response to the tragedy. This attack is part of a larger pattern of aggression, with Russia launching a total of 45 drones over Ukraine, causing widespread damage and casualties.
