A Russian airstrike on the Osnovyanskyi district of Kharkiv overnight has resulted in the deaths of four people, according to the city's mayor, Ihor Terekhov.

The strike, which occurred at 2:51 a.m., was likely carried out using a guided aerial bomb. The attack damaged around 20 houses and completely destroyed two of them.

Rescue workers are currently on the scene, continuing to clear the debris. So far, they have recovered four bodies.
