Russian drones wound 14 in Kharkiv
The strikes came a day after Russian attacks killed three people and wounded some 60 others in the city, some 30 kilometers (18 miles) from the Russian border.
Kharkiv has been heavily hit by Russian forces throughout their more than three-year invasion.
'At night, the enemy attacked Kharkiv,' Ukraine's state emergency service said.
'Fourteen people, including four children, were wounded,' it added.
The governor of the Kharkiv region, Oleg Synegubov, said the wounded children were a two-year-old boy and girls aged 12, 16 and 17.
The mayor of the city, Igor Terekhov, said Russian drones attacked the city 'between 1:37 am. and 3:08 am' sparking fires 'in residential buildings and education institutions.'
He said debris had fallen 'right next to playgrounds.'
Russia has intensified strikes on Ukraine in recent days, with peace efforts being pushed by the United States having failed to lead to a breakthrough.

Russia in favor of new peace talks with Ukraine, highlights differences between them
The Kremlin said on Monday that Moscow was in favor of a new round of peace talks between Russia and Ukraine but the two sides' positions were diametrically opposed so there was a lot of diplomatic work to be done. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Saturday that Kyiv has sent Moscow an offer to hold another round of peace talks this week, and that he wants to speed up negotiations for a ceasefire. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that as soon as there was a definitive understanding of the date for the next round of talks then Moscow would announce it. 'There is our draft memorandum, there is a draft memorandum that has been handed over by the Ukrainian side. There is to be an exchange of views and talks on these two drafts, which are diametrically opposed so far,' Peskov said. Ukraine and Russia have held two rounds of talks in Istanbul, on May 16 and June 2, that led to the exchange of thousands of prisoners of war and the remains of dead soldiers. But the two sides have made no breakthrough towards a ceasefire or a settlement to end almost three and a half years of war.

13 Dead in Russian Bus Crash
Thirteen people were killed and 20 injured after a bus transporting mine workers in Russia's far eastern Yakutia region crashed early Monday, authorities said. The driver appeared to have lost control of the vehicle, swerving off the road and sending the bus plummeting 25 meters (82 feet) into a ravine, according to officials. The incident took place at around 3:20 am (1820 GMT on Sunday), the local interior ministry said. It published images showing the bus overturned next to a pool of muddy water, its wheels facing upward, while another showed a twisted metal barrier on the road above. "The road accident occurred on the industrial road of the Denisovsky Mining and Processing Plant," it added. The plant mines and processes coal. Investigators said they had opened a probe into criminal negligence. Industrial accidents are common in Russia, with investigators often pointing to lax safety standards. Local authorities declared a day of mourning for Tuesday.
