A Russian drone attack on Ukraine’s northeastern city of Kharkiv has killed at least four people and wounded six, officials have said, just hours after Washington accused Moscow of “dangerous and inexplicable escalation” of the war and as a peace deal remains distant.

Kharkiv Regional Governor Oleh Syniehubov said Tuesday that the death toll from the attack on the outskirts of the frequently targeted city, just 30km (19 miles) from the border, had risen to four.
