Russian drone hit a shopping center in Kharkiv's Kyivskyi district on Sept. 26, injuring four people, local officials said.

Kharkiv, Ukraine's second-largest city, lies about 30 kilometers (19 miles) from the Russian border and has been a frequent target of airstrikes since the full-scale invasion began.

Kharkiv Oblast Governor Oleh Syniehubov said the drone struck the roof of a furniture store, injuring four people.  

Mayor Ihor Terekhov confirmed the strike, saying the drone involved was preliminarily identified as a Russian-made "Molniya." He said all four injured people were receiving medical care.
