00:00I'm at the site of a drone strike here in Kharkiv. A Shahed drone, one of 15,

00:07that attacked the city tonight. This one actually landed and detonated on this building which was

00:13a warehouse for a fruit and vegetable market. It's been, well, completely destroyed. The firemen,

00:19the emergency services are on the scene. Still smoke there, as you can see, it's still smouldering.

00:26And this was at the end of a civilian street, a residential street.

00:29If you look around here, there are some houses just next door. It's already being patched up.

00:34But here there was a 12-year-old girl who was injured. A bit of glass hit her near the eye.

00:40She's been rushed to hospital. And we've been speaking to some of the residents here. And as

00:44you can imagine, they are tired of the violence. Kharkiv is a city that has been badly hit since

00:51the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion. They say they're tired. They feel that Russia

00:57is trying to wage a psychological war on the people of this country with these

01:01incessant nightly drone strikes to try and get Ukraine, force Ukraine to agree to peace on

01:08Russia's terms. The people we've spoken to here say they're determined to stay in their homes

01:13and that they don't want their president to give in to Vladimir Putin.
