Intense Russian Assault on Kharkiv: casualties of three fatalities and 17 injuries, significant damage – visuals offered
On the unholy night of June 6-7, Russian forces unleashed chaos across the city of Kharkiv, deploying kamikaze drones, guided aerial bombs, and missiles in a brutal assault. This relentless attack claimed the lives of three souls and left 17 others injured, among them two innocent children[1][2].
Kharkiv Mayor Ihor Terekhov and Oleh Syniehubov, Head of Kharkiv Oblast Military Administration, reported that the city was battered with 53 Shahed UAVs, four guided aerial bombs, and one missile, primarily targeting the Kyivskyi and Osnovianskyi districts[1]. Due to the sheer horror of the attacks, Kyivskyi's civilian business premises were set ablaze, with a staggering 10,000 sq m engulfed in flames[1][2].
In the Osnovianskyi district, a nine-story residential building was hit, igniting a monstrous fire that consumed 600 sq m across six, seven, and eight floors, trapping a woman beneath the ruins[1][2]. However, rescuers miraculously extricated the trapped woman, who is now receiving medical care. Further, two cars were reduced to ashes in the ensuing inferno[1][2].
Terekhov, in a heart-wrenching statement, confirmed the grim toll of the attack, stating that it led to three fatalities and 17 casualties[1]. Apart from this devastation, three Shahed drones torched an abandoned cowshed, while five UAVs set open territories on Kharkiv's outskirts ablaze[1].
The resilience of Kharkiv's people, in the face of these brutal assaults, is a testament to their indomitable spirit. Despite the ongoing carnage, they refuse to abandon their homes and continue to work and live in the beleaguered city[2].
War-and-conflicts continue to ravage Ukraine, as Russian forces unleashed another wave of destruction on the city of Kharkiv, resulting in politics and general news headlines worldwide. Meanwhile, crime-and-justice issues have arisen due to the reported misuse of Shahed drones, guiding aerial bombs, and missiles, causing chaos, fires, and innocent casualties, including two children.
