UKRAINE, KHARKIV, Jun 5 — On the night of June 5, Russian troops launched seven drones on the Slobidskyi district of Kharkiv, injuring 18 people. Gwara Media documented the consequences of another Russian attack.
The Prosecutor’s Office said that, first, Russians launched a missile on the city at 12:30 a.m., but it hit an open area near transport infrastructure in Slobidskyi district.
In about half an hour, Russians conducted a mass attack on the same district with “Geran-2” drones, damaging a residential building. This attack injured 18 people, including a pregnant woman, two 13-year-old girls, a 9-year-old girl, and a 7-year-old boy. They all have acute stress reactions.
One Russian drone hit the 16th floor of a high-rise apartment building, and another hit the wall of a five-story residential building. The police also recorded a strike near the high-rise that damaged cars and shops.
“The attack damaged more than 10 cars and destroyed three. We also recorded a fully destroyed apartment on the 17th floor of the building,” said the representative of the Prosecutor’s Office in the Kharkiv region.
“The debris broke through the wall in one of the apartments. The part of Shahed’s motor was in the corridor. The apartment owners were at home at that time. They survived only because they were in another room,” said Ihor Terekhov, the Kharkiv mayor.
Russia continues to modify its weapons to invent new ways to terrorize civilians in Ukraine. On June 3, Russian forces launched new types of drones with simple explosive parts on Kharkiv.
