At least one person was killed and several injured, including an infant and a 7-year-old boy, in Russia's overnight drone attacks on Ukraine.



The governor of the southeastern Ukrainian region said in a post on the Telegram messaging app, a 45-year-old civilian was killed and two injured in a strike on a settlement near the frontline in the Zaporizhzhia region.



An infant, a child and six other civilians were injured in a Russian drone attack on Kharkiv, regional officials there said, in what seemed to be the latest in a series of bombings of the city not far from Russia's border.



Kharkiv's mayor, Ihor Terekhov, said in a post on Telegram messaging app, "Fifteen drone strikes were carried out on Kharkiv."



"We have information about four injured, two of whom are children."



Oleh Sinehubov, governor of the Kharkiv region of which the city of Kharkiv is the administrative centre, said that a 9-month infant and a 7-year-old boy were among the injured.



The attacks came as both sides accuse each other of breaking a U.S.-brokered partial ceasefire on strikes on energy and Black Sea infrastructure.
