In the Slobidskyi district, a drone struck the grounds of an educational institution near high-rise buildings. The shockwave shattered windows in neighboring buildings, and people were injured.
In the Kyivsky district that evening, a drone struck a civilian vehicle. Another drone in the Kholodnohirsky district struck an apartment building. The day before, on September 8, Kharkiv also came under several attacks by Russian drones. The city remains one of the main targets of Russian strikes due to its proximity to the border with Russia.

At this time, it is known only that the drone struck near one of the medical facilities in the Shevchenkivskyi district.
Information regarding possible casualties, damaged buildings, and other consequences may be updated. City services continue to work at the site of the attack. Russian strikes on Kharkiv regularly target civilian infrastructure and residential areas. This time, the area near the medical facility was hit.
