A Russian drone strike in Kharkiv, Ukraine, killed three children, including a one-year-old in a stroller, and injured at least 15 others, including seven children. The attack occurred amid a significant rise in civilian casualties, with an 85% increase in deaths and injuries in September 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, according to United Nations data.
