UKRAINE, KHARKIV OBLAST, Sep 13 — On September 12, Russian troops attacked eight settlements in the Kharkiv region 11 times. Attacks on Borova killed four people, reported Oleh Syniehubov, governor of Kharkiv Oblast.

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.

Oleh Syniehubov said that the Russian army attacked the village of Morozova Dolyna in the Zolochiv community with an FPV drone. They damaged a car and injured a 54-year-old man.

Also, the Novoosynove village of the Kurylivka community came under fire. The Russians damaged a house and outbuildings there.

Later, Russian troops attacked another village in the Kurylivka community, Hlushkivka. A direct hit on the territory of the farm destroyed the barns.

The Russians also hit Kupiansk, causing a club and a civilian building to catch fire.

The governor said that the village of Bilyi Kolodiaz of the Vovchansk community was hit, where an outbuilding was burning. 

Russia also hit the Kyivskyi district of Kharkiv with airstrikes, injuring three women aged 39, 70, 83, a 33-year-old man, and a 10-year-old girl who suffered an acute stress reaction. The shelling also damaged two houses and one non-residential building.

Later, the Russians launched a missile attack on the town of Derhachi, injuring two women aged 65 and 54, as well as a 31-year-old man.

At night, at 23:48, the Russian army carried out a third strike on the village of Borova, causing grass to burn over an area of 400 m2
