Occupiers struck a gas station in the Kharkiv region with a drone; three people were injured

Russian forces carried out an airstrike using a UAV on the town of Bohodukhiv in the Kharkiv region. The strike hit a local gas station, causing a fire and damaging vehicles. 

This was reported by the Main Directorate of the National Police in Kharkiv Oblast.

Three civilian men aged 43, 45, and 64 were injured in the attack. All of the injured were hospitalized for treatment. Emergency services worked at the site of the strike and quickly extinguished the fire. Law enforcement officials have opened a criminal investigation under the article on violations of the laws and customs of war. The attack on a civilian infrastructure facility once again confirms the tactic of drone terror used by the aggressor against the civilian population. 

The situation in the frontline areas of the Kharkiv region remains tense due to constant shelling. Police are urging residents not to ignore air raid sirens and to avoid crowded places. Documentation of the consequences of yet another war crime by the Russian Federation is ongoing. As of the evening of April 20, the threat of repeated drone strikes in the region persists.

Roman Reva, a 23-year-old police officer, died from severe injuries sustained during an airstrike on Kramatorsk.

Occupation forces of the Russian Federation launched another strike on residential neighborhoods in Zaporizhzhia, resulting in one fatality.
