Over the past day, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation have carried out multiple attacks on the city of Kharkiv and 11 settlements within the Kharkiv region. These assaults, executed using various types of drones and guided aerial bombs (GAB), have led to devastating consequences. According to Oleg Synegubov, the head of the regional military administration (OVA), four individuals lost their lives as a result of the shelling, while 11 others sustained injuries, among whom was a child.
Oleg Synegubov reported on his Telegram channel that in the city of Kharkiv, a 72-year-old man and a 29-year-old woman were among the deceased. The injured included a 63-year-old woman, as well as men aged 63 and 29, and a 2-year-old girl. These figures highlight the indiscriminate nature of the attacks, affecting not only adults but also children, which underscores the horrific reality of the situation.
Additionally, in the village of Kivsharivka, part of the Kupiansk community, a 57-year-old woman was killed, and a 42-year-old man was injured.

This tragedy once again highlights the severity of the situation in the region, where shelling has become a regular occurrence. The Kharkiv region, which has long suffered from military actions, continues to experience destruction and loss among the civilian population. Local residents are forced to live under constant threat, and the humanitarian situation remains critical.
Authorities and local organizations are striving to provide assistance to those affected, but with each new shelling, the needs grow while resources remain limited. The situation in the Kharkiv region calls for urgent response from both the state and the international community to ensure the safety and protection of civilians.
This incident evokes deep sorrow and compassion among Ukrainians who are enduring the consequences of war. It is crucial to remember the lives that have been lost and to support those who have survived during this challenging time.
