UKRAINE, KHARKIV, July 24 — During the day, Russia attacked Kharkiv and Lozova, a city in Kharkiv Oblast, with, according to a preliminary investigation, Iskander missiles, killing three people and injuring at least 13, reports Kharkiv regional Prosecutor’s Office.

Russia attacks Kharkiv and the surrounding region often because of its proximity to the border and the frontline, especially so since May 2024, when Moscow’s new ground offensive from the north started.

According to the investigation, Russia’s attack on industrial objects in the Kholodnohirskyi district of Kharkiv injured nine people, damaging buildings and enterprise facilities, and blowing out windows in nearby high-rise residential buildings.

Russia also hit a plant in Lozova on May 24, killing three people (at first, one person killed in a missile strike was documented, and two were found under the rubble during the rescue operation) and injuring four.

During morning attacks on the region, Russia attacked the landscape park in the Kharkiv suburbs (see Gwara’s photo story from the impact site here) and damaged an office building of Geneva NGO, FSD, that specializes in demining.
