Over the past day, Russian troops launched heavy attacks on six settlements in Ukraine’s Kharkiv region, using various types of weapons. One civilian was killed and 15 others were injured, including two children, according to regional governor Oleh Syniehubov.
The city of Chuhuiv was hit hardest, with 11 people wounded, among them a 10-year-old boy and a 14-year-old girl. In Kupiansk, a 55-year-old woman was killed, while four others — two women aged 61 and 70 and two men aged 56 and 57 — were injured.
Regional authorities reported that Russian forces used 12 unguided air rockets, one Kh-38 missile, six guided aerial bombs (KABs), and 36 drones of various types, including Shahed and Geran-2 models.
The shelling damaged and destroyed civilian infrastructure. In the Kupiansk district, two apartment buildings, a school, two private houses, and a shop were hit. In the Chuhuiv district, damage was reported to a dormitory, a car service station, 10 vehicles, a postal facility, and an unused building.
Ukraine’s State Emergency Service (SES) said Chuhuiv was subjected to a mass drone attack that sparked a large fire at one site in the city. At another location, drone strikes ignited a blaze at a postal branch and an unused building. In total, 93 emergency personnel and 29 units of equipment — including bomb disposal experts, medics, and a fire train — were involved in the response.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian forces repelled numerous ground assaults. Over the past day, 183 combat clashes were recorded. On the Southern Slobozhansky axis, Russian troops tried 10 times to breach defensive lines near Vovchansk, Hlyboke, Zelene, Kamianka, and toward Kutkivka. On the Kupiansk axis, there were eight Russian attacks, all repelled near Holubivka, Zahryzove, and Zelenyi Hai.
