A devastating missile strike by Russian forces in Kharkiv resulted in the tragic discovery of three bodies beneath the rubble of destroyed residential buildings. The assault, involving ten “Banderol” type missiles, targeted multiple high-rise apartments, with direct hits reported.
Oleg Synegubov, the head of the Kharkiv Regional Military Administration, provided updates indicating that at least 15 individuals were injured, including a rescue worker. Among the injured, two are in serious condition, including a 19-year-old boy suffering from burns and a man undergoing surgery. Three additional victims are in moderate condition.
The strikes caused significant damage, including the complete destruction of an entrance in a four-story building in the Kholodnohirs’kyi district, as well as damage to at least ten private homes. In the Shevchenkivskyi district, a five-story apartment building was hit, resulting in a fire in a bank on the ground floor, damaging six cars and shattering windows in other nearby apartment buildings.
Rescue operations are ongoing, with emergency services, police, medical personnel, volunteers, and dog handlers working at the scene despite the risk of further attacks. According to the latest reports from the State Emergency Service, four people have been rescued, but more may still be trapped under the debris. Psychologists from the emergency service are also providing support to the affected individuals.
