At 11:52 p.m., the Kharkiv Regional Military Administration reported that Russian troops were attacking Kharkiv city and the region. A second explosion occurred seven minutes later.

At 0:39 a.m., Mayor Terekhov reported that the strikes hit a forest strip in the Shevchenkivskyi district.

“There is a fire at the site of the strikes. Residential buildings located near the epicenter of the explosions were damaged - windows were shattered,” he wrote.

At this moment, there are no casualties, the Regional Military Administration said about the attack.

At 4:51 a.m., Kharkiv was attacked by three KAB bombs, according to Terekhov.

At 5:13 a.m., he stated, "One of the strikes occurred between a school and a kindergarten in the Industrial district. There is currently no information about any casualties."

Later, Terekhov noted that the second strike by a KAB bomb took place near the depot in Saltivskyi district.

“As in the first case, windows in the houses were smashed. No one was injured. The inspection of the impact site is ongoing. The third KAB bomb fell in the suburbs,” he wrote.

Strike on Zaporizhzhia

Ivan Fedorov, the head of the Zaporizhzhia Regional Military Administration, said that a woman was killed in the attack by KAB bombs on the territory of the Zaporizhzhia district. Two more were wounded.

“Russians attacked Komyshuvakha and Novooleksandrivka communities at least four times. The blast wave and debris damaged private houses and property,” he wrote.

Later, Fedorov clarified that a 74-year-old woman was killed and two 67-year-olds were wounded. The victims have lacerations and cuts, concussions and bruises. 

“Doctors assess their condition as moderate. They say there is no threat to their lives,” said Fedorov.

However, the man who was also injured by the Russian attack refused to be hospitalized.
