A Russian drone attack on a residential area in Kharkiv killed seven people including a toddler and a 16-year-old boy overnight, Ukrainian authorities said on Monday, as the United States presses Kyiv to accept a quick deal to end the war that Moscow started.

Russian forces have attacked the city of Kharkiv with Geran-2 drones. Four of these UAVs have hit a five-storey apartment building, causing structural damage and fires. Two adults and a child have been killed and people may still be trapped under the rubble.
