"We continue to inform civilians that the northern part of Kharkiv remains dangerous for travel. If possible, people should use alternative routes. However, we have completed our task: the sections that needed to be covered and the problematic areas have now been fully addressed," the regional head explained.
Background
On 21 May, a Russian drone struck a truck in the Kharkiv district, killing its 40-year-old driver. The invaders then carried out two more strikes on the same location, damaging patrol police vehicles (one vehicle was completely destroyed by fire).
Following the drone strike, traffic was temporarily closed to all vehicles on the section of the ring road between the Ecopark and the Lyptsi junction, the regional Service for Restoration and Infrastructure Development reported.
The head of the Regional Military Administration previously said that anti-drone nets could be installed along Kharkivske Highway and in Northern Saltivka, but that no decision had yet been made to cover the city with nets.
