Russian airstrike claims lives of 2 elderly civilians in Kharkiv
Two elderly civilians died in a Russian airstrike on Kharkiv’s Saltivskyi district, the area closest to the Russian border. Seven others were injured, reported Oleh Syniehubov, head of the Kharkiv Regional Military Administration.
Located just 30 kilometers from Russia, Kharkiv faces daily bombardment with low-precision guided bombs. This highlights the ongoing threat to civilian areas in Ukraine and the critical need for enhanced air defense capabilities, especially in border regions.
“Two civilians, a 70-year-old woman and man, were killed. Among the injured is a 10-year-old boy, who is in stable condition and did not require hospitalization,” Syniehubov wrote on Telegram.
The strike, involving six FAB-250 aerial bombs, hit a densely populated residential area. Kharkiv Mayor Ihor Terekhov confirmed damage to 15 multi-story apartment buildings. Emergency services and volunteers are responding to the scene.
