Kharkiv Region Under Fire: New Casualties and Destruction

The Kharkiv region is once again under dangerous attacks: numerous fires, destructive consequences, and casualties, including rescuers.

This information was reported by the State Emergency Service (SES).

Last night, Russian forces relentlessly shelled Kharkiv and the surrounding area for three hours using air-dropped bombs, rockets, and drones.

In the Kyiv district, enemy shelling caused large-scale fires at a local enterprise.

The explosion wave also damaged several apartment buildings.

As soon as SES units arrived at the site and began to extinguish the flames, the enemy launched a second attack.

As a result, preliminary reports indicate that 5 people were injured, including 3 SES employees. Additionally, 3 fire trucks were damaged. Despite the danger, firefighters displayed extraordinary courage: they rescued individuals under fire and escorted them to safe shelters. In total, 6 people were saved, including 2 children.

In the town of Zmiiv, in the Chuhuiv district, shelling resulted in a fire at a civil enterprise and in the private sector. Production and storage buildings, as well as a utility structure and grass, were ablaze. Preliminary reports indicate that 3 people were injured here.
