Russian shelling has resulted in two civilian injuries in the suburban village of Tsyrkuny, according to Oleh Synehubov, the head of Kharkiv regional military administration. The attack underscores the escalation of hostilities in the area, where civilian casualties have become increasingly common.
Residents of Tsyrkuny, located on the outskirts of Kharkiv, have been living under constant threat of attacks, with several instances of shelling reported in recent weeks. Synehubov confirmed that the latest strike targeted a residential area, leading to the injuries of two individuals, though no fatalities were reported.
Local authorities have been working to evacuate civilians from the affected areas, but the ongoing conflict has made it difficult to ensure the safety of the population. The incident has drawn further international condemnation of Russia’s military actions, with many countries calling for a ceasefire to protect civilian lives.
