UKRAINE, KHARKIV OBLAST, Apr. 15 — On Apr. 14, local authorities recorded at least eight Russian attacks on one of the biggest civilian businesses in the Mala Danylivka community, said Oleksandr Hololobov, the head of the community.

Russian forces attacked Cherkaska Lozova village in the Mala Danylivka community, located in northern Kharkiv outskirts, with glide bombs, said Oleh Syniehubov, the governor of the Kharkiv oblast.

According to Hololobov, a Russian attack damaged a transport business and hotel complex, injuring two people. They also damaged power networks, seven cars, and dozens of houses.

Hololobov said the damaged business was the last major facility in the Mala Danylivka community, which paid taxes despite severe damage inflicted (by Russian shelling — ed.) back in 2022.

“We can say that the economy of the Mala Danylivka community suffered critical losses,” said Hololobov.

Over the past day, Russian forces attacked Kharkiv and 18 settlements in the region with 14 glide bombs and 38 drones of different types, said Syniehubov.

In the Kharkiv district, Russian attacks injured three men in Derhachi and damaged a civilian business in Merefa.

Russians also attacked the Osnivianskyi, Kyivskyi, and Shevchenkivskyi districts of Kharkiv, injuring a woman and damaging houses and an outbuilding.

In the Chuhuiv district, Russian forces attacked the dam of the Pechenihy reservoir with six glide bombs. The Ukrainian military said that the dam was not damaged.

Russians also damaged houses, power networks, and shops in the Kupiansk district and houses and power networks in the Bohodukhiv district, said the Kharkiv regional police.

A Russian FPV drone also hit a police car in the Vovchansk community, the police reported.
