Attacks with Russian drones against the Ukrainian cities of Kharkiv and Dnipro on Tuesday night killed at least one person and injured almost 50, authorities said.
The city of Kharkiv, located in the northeast of Ukraine, near the border with Russia, has been a regular target of russian drone and missile attacks since Moscow started a large -scale invasion more than three years ago.
The onslaught against the country’s second largest city injured 47 people, including two children and a pregnant woman, regional governor Oleh Syniehubov said.
In Dnipro, in the south, a 53 -year -old man was killed, regional governor Serhiy Lysak said.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Russia mobilized more than 100 attacks by Ukraine at night.
“This is why the pressure on Moscow is necessary-strong additional sanctions that really work. It must be the pressure, not just words or attempts to persuas, that forces Russia to ceasefire and end the war,” Zelensky wrote on social networks.

He called for pressure on Russia by the United States, the most important Western ally in Ukraine.
Washington has been trying to mediate a peace agreement, but threatened as a mediator unless Moscow and Kiev present concrete proposals.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Monday (28) a three-day ceasefire, from May 8-10, to mark the 80th anniversary of the Soviet Union victory and allies in World War II.
Zelensky wants an immediate ceasefire lasting at least 30 days.
Despite the announcement of Putin’s ceasefire, Ukraine’s main military commander Oleksandr Syrskyi, said on Wednesday that Russian forces significantly increased the intensity of their combat activities in eastern Ukraine.
Attack targets
Kharkiv mayor Ihor Terekhov said several areas of the city were targets.
About 1.2 million people live in Kharkiv compared to almost 2 million before the war.
High apartment buildings, private residences, a medical center and civil infrastructure were hit, he commented.
“I was at home when the attack happened. My son slept in the hall, I just sat there, but I couldn’t hear the noise that the drones usually make … I was about to check my phone, and then the explosion … Glass shards hit me on the back,” Darya, a local resident, told Reuters.
“All our windows have been broken and our balcony is destroyed.”
The attack on Dnipro injured a person, besides the man who was dead, damaged private homes and caused fires, said Lysak, calling her “a difficult night for Dnipro.”
Both sides deny the target of civilians.
A 45 -year -old man was injured in a Russian attack in a village in the Zaprizzhzia region, partially occupied by Russia, said regional governor Ivan Fedorov.
Two people were injured in a Russian bombing in the city of Kherson in the south of the country, the city’s military administration said.
