Oct. 31 (UPI) -- An airborne Russian assault on the frontline Ukrainian city of Kharkiv overnight killed three people, including a 12-year-old boy and a 15-year-old boy, and injured 35, regional authorities said.

Kharkiv prosecutor's office spokesman Dmytro Chubenko said the 12-year-old was pulled dead from a badly damaged building while the 15-year-old boy likely survived the strike but succumbed to his injuries while buried in the rubble.
