Details: The fire was caused by a fuel leak, which resulted in a dangerous substance leaking down the street where the residential neighbourhood is located.

The man's body was found in the corridor of the house, while the mother and children tried to save their lives in the bathroom.

The search for the body of the youngest boy is ongoing.

A 66-year-old man and his 65-year-old wife were killed in another house.

Two women, aged 61 and 39, and a 45-year-old man were injured.

The State Emergency Service reported that more than 50 people were rescued last night during the fires in Kharkiv.

As a result of the Russian drone attack, civilian infrastructure facilities were hit. Several large-scale fires have broken out, and rescue workers are extinguishing them.
