UKRAINE, KHARKIV OBLAST, Aug 16 —  Russians attacked the village of Odnorobivka in the Zolochiv community of the Bohodukhiv district, destroying a house, Viktor Kovalenko, head of the Zolochiv military settlement administration, told Gwara Media.

Towns and villages of the Kharkiv Oblast come under massive Russian artillery shelling and air strikes often, even more so since Russia launched a new ground offensive north and northeast of the region in the Vovchansk and Lyptsi directions in May.
