Last night, Kharkiv came under a massive enemy attack.

This was reported on Telegram by Oleh Syniehubov, head of the Kharkiv Regional State Administration, according to Censor.NET.

Casualties and injuries

It is reported that five people were killed as a result of strikes on the industrial zone, including four State Emergency Service personnel. A further 13 people were injured.

Condition of the injured

According to the Regional Military Administration, four of the injured have been hospitalised: two men are in a critical condition in intensive care, and two women are in a stable condition. A one-month-old baby has also been hospitalised.

Medical staff are providing all necessary assistance.

Clean-up operations

Units of the State Emergency Service and all relevant services continue to work at the sites of the strikes. Clean-up operations following the shelling and firefighting are ongoing. After this, a detailed survey of the area will begin to ensure that no one remains trapped under the rubble.

Syniehubov points out that the enemy employed the cynical tactic of a follow-up strike. First, they attacked the city with strike drones, and subsequently launched several targeted missile strikes against people who were clearing up the aftermath of the previous attack.

According to preliminary information from law enforcement agencies, the enemy used Iskander-type missiles.
