Russia attacked Kharkiv and 17 other towns and villages; one man was killed
Over the past 24 hours, Russian occupation forces have launched massive strikes on Kharkiv and 17 other settlements in the region, resulting in one death and one injury.
This was stated by Oleg Synyegubov, head of the Kharkiv Regional Military Administration.
The invaders actively used various types of weapons, storming peaceful towns and villages in the region, which led to significant destruction of civilian infrastructure and residential areas.
The head of the Regional Military Administration released official data on civilian casualties and the locations of enemy strikes.
“A 40-year-old man was killed near the village of Lisne in the Malodanilivska community on Kiltseva Road; a 37-year-old man was injured in the village of Ivano-Shiychyne in the Bohodukhivska community. The enemy attacked the Kyivskyi and Nemyshlyanskyi districts of Kharkiv with UAVs,” Oleg Synyegubov noted in his statement.
To carry out terrorist attacks on the Kharkiv region, Russian army units used a significant arsenal of air and artillery weapons.
In particular, the military recorded the use of one multiple launch rocket system (MLRS) and 17 high-precision FPV drones.
In addition, the invaders launched six “Molniya”-type unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and another five UAVs—the type of which is currently being identified by experts—at settlements in the region.
As a result of enemy shelling in Kharkiv itself, a private residential building sustained significant damage.
In the Bohodukhiv district, damage to private homes and vehicles was reported in the village of Zolochiv, as well as in the villages of Ivano-Shiychyne, Lemishchyne, Bratenytsia, Pysarivka, and Petrivka.
In the Kharkiv district, the invaders damaged two cars in the village of Lisne and a residential building in the village of Semenivka.
