UKRAINE, KHARKIV, Oct. 24 — At around 3:56 p.m., a Russian Lancet drone hit a car truck at one of the transport businesses in Kharkiv, injuring two men, aged 59 and 66, local officials reported. 

Earlier today, Russian troops hit the city with at least six, according to the updated information, glide bombs. The number of injured had already risen to 10, two people are currently hospitalized. 

Russia has often attacked Kharkiv, a city to the northeast of Ukraine in a region that borders Belgorod Oblast, since the start of the full-scale invasion. 

Lancet drone, one of Russian-developed kamikaze drones, is capable of flying up to 50 km from the zero line. This month, one such drone targeted a military truck in Izium in the Kharkiv region.

On Oct. 24, Russian Lancet killed two Ukrainian journalists and injured another in Donetsk oblast. This was the second time in October that Russia killed media workers in Ukraine. It’s a campaign “to shut independent voices that tell the world about Russian war crimes,” said President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
