UKRAINE, KHARKIV OBLAST, Aug 13 — The Russians attacked the settlements of the Bohodukhiv district, Kharkiv region, injuring seven people, including four children. The attack also damaged more than 30 houses reported the Kharkiv Regional Prosecutor’s Office.

Towns and villages of the Kharkiv Oblast come under massive Russian artillery shelling and air strikes often, even more so since Russia launched a new ground offensive north and northeast of the region in the Vovchansk and Lyptsi directions in May.

On the evening of August 12, Russians shelled the Bohodukhiv district in the Kharkiv region. There were at least five hits in the district’s settlements. The attacks injured seven people. Among them are two boys aged four months and five years and two girls aged two years and ten years. They have an acute stress reaction. Three women also sought medical assistance.

Prosecutors reported that one of the missiles the Russians used in the attack was a KN-23 (or KN-24), also known as a Hwasong-11. North Korea produces such weapons.

The Russian shelling damaged a household in the village of Moskalenky, causing an outbuilding to catch fire. In Bohodukhiv, the shelling damaged four residential buildings.
