Russia launched fresh strikes against Ukraine in the early hours of New Year's Eve, just a day after vowing to retaliate for what it called a 'terrorist attack' on the city of Belgorod.
Several Iranian-made 'Shahed' drones targeted Ukraine's northeastern city of Kharkiv overnight, according to local authorities, as the two sides have taken turns accusing each other of pummelling civilian areas of their shared frontier over the weekend.
'As a result of the night attack of Russian drones on Kharkiv, buildings in the city centre were damaged. These are not military facilities, but cafes, residential buildings and offices,' the city's mayor, Ihor Terekhov, wrote on Telegram, without mentioning casualties.
'On the eve of the New Year, Russians want to intimidate our city, but we are not scared.'
The strike follows the deadliest attack on civilians in Russia since the start of the conflict in February 2022.
