UKRAINE, KHARKIV OBLAST, Apr. 27 — Over the past day, Russian troops shelled at least eight settlements of the Kharkiv region, reported the governor Oleh Syniehubov. He added that, although no injuries have been recorded from the impact sites, the shelling damaged civilian infrastructure. 

Moscow attacks Kharkiv oblast often because of its proximity to the border, and its troops try to move deeper into the region from the north, east, and southeast. Over the past day, the Russian army launched at least five glide bombs, four kamikaze drones of Geran-2 and Molniya drones, and five drones of unknown type, reported Syniehubov. 

Russian air attacks damaged a house in Zolochiv and another three houses in Liutivka of the Bohodukhiv district. Russian shelling also damaged civilian houses in Velykyi Burluk in the Kupiansk district, in Izium city, in Cherkaska Lozova village of the Kharkiv district, and in Pilna village of the Chuhuiv district.
