Russia has launched a massive attack on Ukraine, particularly targeting the eastern city of Kharkiv with missiles, drones, and guided bombs. Ukrainian President Zelensky accused Russia of intending destruction and targeting civilians.

Russia launched waves of drones and ballistic missiles at multiple targets across a broad swath of Ukraine early Friday, killing at least four people in the capital and wounding around 40 across the country.

Ukraine says that a large Russian drone-and-missile attack has targeted the city of Kharkiv, killing at least three people and injuring 21.

A Russian strike on the northeastern Ukrainian city of Sumy has killed at least three civilians and injured many more after a shell landed on a residential street, emergency services said. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said it was the result of a Russian Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) attack.

Russia's Defence Ministry said on Friday that its forces had carried out a massive and successful strike on military and military-related targets in Ukraine overnight in response to what it called Ukrainian "terrorist acts" against Russia.

Ukraine denied Russian allegations on Saturday (June 7) that it had indefinitely postponed prisoner swaps, accusing Moscow of "playing dirty games" after overnight Russian missile and bomb strikes on Kharkiv left three people dead and 22 injured.
