A baby and a 14-year-old girl were among the injured, he added.One civilian industrial facility was attacked by 40 drones, one missile and four bombs, Kharkiv governor Oleh Syniehubov said, adding that there might still be people buried under the rubble.In the later Russian attack using glide bombs on Kharkiv on Saturday evening, one more person was killed and at least another 18 people injured, the city's mayor said.Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha urged allies to increase pressure on Moscow and to take "more steps to strengthen Ukraine" in response to Russia's latest attacks.<a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cvg7zy1jq7no" target="_blank">Six people were killed and 80 injured across Ukraine on Thursday night</a>, when Russia attacked the country with more than 400 drones and nearly 40 missiles.<img src="https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/480/cpsprodpb/83db/live/dfb84890-43ea-11f0-bf95-1b372b3071a1.jpg.webp" alt="EPA A handout photo released by the press service of the State Emergency Service (SES) of Ukraine shows a psychologist providing assistance near the site of an air strike in Kharkiv, northeastern Ukraine, 07 June 2025" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />EPAA psychologist provides assistance to a woman near the site of an air strike in Kharkiv on SaturdayUkrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said the strikes on Kharkiv made "no military sense" and were "pure terrorism".He accused his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, of "buying himself time to keep waging the war", and said "pressure must be applied" to stop the attacks.During the <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/clyng4dknwwo" target="_blank">latest round of direct talks in Istanbul earlier this week</a>, the two warring sides agreed to exchange all sick and heavily wounded prisoners of war, those aged under 25, as well as the bodies of 12,000 soldiers.Moscow's chief negotiator at the meeting, Vladimir Medinsky, said on Saturday that Ukraine had "unexpectedly postponed both the acceptance of bodies and the exchange of prisoners of war for an indefinite period".He further said that the bodies of more than 1,000 Ukrainian soldiers had been taken to an agreed exchange point but that Ukrainian officials had never arrived.A list of 640 prisoners-of-war had also been handed to Ukraine "in order to begin the exchange", Medinsky wrote on social media.Ukrainian officials responded angrily to the allegations, telling Russia to "stop playing dirty games".</blockquote>
