In a troubling escalation of violence, Russian military forces launched a series of attacks across various settlements in the Kharkiv region, resulting in extensive damage to infrastructure and civilian casualties. According to regional officials, the assaults targeted residential areas and community facilities, underscoring the ongoing turmoil in the area.
In the early hours of the day, the village of Kupiansk-Vuzlovy suffered an artillery barrage that damaged crucial local establishments, including a «House of Science and Technology» and a nearby kindergarten located on Darwin Street. Oleg Synegubov, the head of the Kharkiv regional military administration, reported these developments, highlighting the detrimental impact on community resources.
As the morning progressed, the village of Bohuslavka in the Boriv community experienced a similar fate, with shelling damaging private residences. The attacks continued into the evening, with multiple rocket launcher strikes hitting Mitrofanivka, causing severe damage to a farm and agricultural equipment.
Casualties among civilians have been reported as a painful consequence of these assaults. In Bilyi Kolodiaz, a woman was injured during the early morning shelling, while a more significant incident in Tsyrkuny injured eight individuals and led to substantial structural damage. The violence claimed the life of a woman in Varvarivka, adding to the grim toll of the day, and a home was destroyed in Petrov Ivanivka amid the ongoing conflict.
The situation remains volatile, with local authorities urging residents to remain vigilant and avoid areas prone to attacks. The repeated assaults on civilian infrastructure raise significant humanitarian concerns, as communities grapple with the consequences of ongoing military operations in the region.
