UKRAINE, KHARKIV OBLAST, Jun. 11 — Russian troops launched airstrikes at Kharkiv and 21 settlements of the region, injuring 11 people, reported the governor of the Kharkiv oblast, Oleh Syniehubov. 

Among those injured in Russian attacks there were men, 50 and 58, and women, aged 23, 27, 33, 38, 45, 57, 70, 75, and 77. Another 55-year-old man in Kozacha Lopan of Derhachi community, north of Kharkiv oblast, Syniehubov added, was injured after stepping on a Russian mine. 

Russia launches airstrikes at Kharkiv oblast often: it’s adjacent to the Russian border, and Russian troops are trying to occupy more land in the region, conducting assaults from the north, east, and southeast. 

In Kharkiv, Russia hit Nemyshlianskyi, Kyivskyi, Shevchenkivskyi, and Industrialnyi districts, damaging 12 multi-apartment buildings, a house, nine cars, and a garage. Gwara Media’s journalists have been to the hit site of one of the attacks. 

To attack the region, Russia used eight drones Geran-2, six drones Molniya, 10 first-person view (FPV) drones, and 30 drones of unidentified types. 

In the Bohodukhiv district, Russian shelling damaged residential buildings, educational facilities in the Ivashky village, a business in Zolochiv, and outbuildings in several settlements. 

Russian attacks on the Kupiansk district destroyed people’s houses and multi-apartment buildings, warehouse facilities, civilian businesses, and emergency medical services’ vehicles. 

In the Kharkiv district, houses, garages, a shop, and a business building were damaged, and in the Chuhuiv district, Russia hit a civilian business as well.
