A Catastrophe in Kharkiv: The Aftermath of May 6's Market Attack

Join Oleg Sinegubov, the Head of the OVO, as he shows the heartbreaking scene of the enemy's invasion on the bustling "Barabashovo" market in Kharkiv on May 6.

Social media posts by Oleg paint a vivid picture: "The Russian army foolishly targeted the city's economic heartbeat, where countless residents visit daily for shopping. There's not a soldier or military objective nearby!"

According to Oleg, attack drones caused devastation, damaging approximately 90 trading facilities and obliterating another 20. A colossal fire engulfed an area of 500 sq.m to quell which firefighters bravely battled.

Tracing back, early on May 6, the Russian occupation lashed Kharkiv with a barrage of drone strikes. Over two agonizing hours, 20 hits were recorded in various parts of the city. The catastrophe at Barabashovo, alongside damaged residences and vehicles, resulted in a total of 11 injured souls in the region due to the shelling.

It's essential to note that Barabashovo is one of Ukraine's, and Eastern Europe's, largest markets. Distressingly, three blocks of the children's shopping section were entirely reduced to ashes by the fire[1][2]. The attacks also caused havoc in other Kharkiv districts[1][3][5].

While no official revelations have been disclosed regarding an investigation into the May 6 Barabashovo market attack, given the enduring conflict dynamics and continuous Russian aggression, it's plausible that Ukrainian authorities, possibly working with international collaborators, are probing these incidents to address the Russian menace. However, as of yet, specific details from any probe into the Barabashovo market strike are not accessible in the provided sources[4].

Firefighters courageously tackled a fire that engulfed an area of 500 square meters at the Barabashovo market in Kharkiv oblast, following the Russian army's attack on May 6. The destruction of this market, one of Ukraine's largest and a significant part of Eastern Europe's trade, had far-reaching impacts, including the injury of 11 individuals in the region.

In addition to the destruction at Barabashavo, there were reports of damage in other Kharkiv districts due to the attacks. As the conflict persists, politics and general news are closely monitoring the ongoing investigations into the incident. Given the ongoing nature of the war-and-conflicts, specific details about any investigations into the Barabashovo market strike remain limited.
