Russia again sends drones against destinations in Ukraine. This time it hits the big city of Charkiw.

The Russian army attacked the eastern Ukrainian city of Charkiw with a larger swarm of drones at night. As the regional military administrator Oleh Synjehubow announced on Telegram, the attack was a “municipal company” that had not been described in more detail, which had been hit by at least eight fighting drones. At least eight people were injured, including two teenagers. According to Mayor Igor Terechow, a larger fire broke out on the company premises.

The Russian military has been increasingly attacking Ukrainian cities for a few weeks. Civilians in particular are harmed.
