UKRAINE, KHARKIV OBLAST, Jul. 27 — A Russian drone attacked the Lozova community south of the Kharkiv oblast, injuring two people and causing a massive fire at the impact site, said Serhii Zelenskyi, the head of the community.

A 50-year-old woman and a 29-year-old man suffered an acute stress reaction after the Russian attack.

A Russian drone destroyed one house and damaged 11 houses nearby. The explosive wave blew out 24 windows, broke seven roofs, and damaged three outbuildings and garages, said Zelenskyi.

Over the past day, Russian forces attacked Kharkiv and 15 settlements of the region with two missiles, seven glide bombs, seven FAB-500 glide bombs, and 39 drones of different types.

The Lozova community is located in the south of the Kharkiv oblast, near the administrative border with the Dnipropetrovsk and Donetsk regions. Lozova itself serves as a transit point for people evacuating from frontline settlements in the Donetsk oblast to safer regions.
