UKRAINE, KHARKIV OBLAST, Aug 6 — In Kupiansk, a Russian FPV drone hit near the police station, injuring one policeman, reported Oleh Syniehubov, governor of Kharkiv Oblast.

In addition, at night, the Russian army launched missile attacks on Tsyrkuny in the Kharkiv region, causing a residential building to catch fire.
