Oleh Syniehubov, the head of the Kharkiv Regional Military Administration, reported the information.
“The situation in Kupiansk is extremely difficult. Russian troops are continuously attacking the city with FPV drones, shelling every district. The enemy is targeting civilian infrastructure, which cannot be restored at this time. There is no water supply, though electricity is still available,” he said.
Syniehubov emphasized that 54 civilians were evacuated from the Kupiansk area yesterday, but about 1,300 people still remain.
