The Russian Armed Forces have struck eight settlements in the Kharkiv region, killing three and injuring six, said Oleh Synegubov, head of the regional military administration. The attack appears to be part of an ongoing escalation in the eastern region of the country.
Synegubov reported the shelling occurred during the day, indicating possible continued hostilities in the region. The casualties include both civilians and military personnel, though the exact distribution is not yet clear. Local authorities are working to provide aid and stabilize the affected areas.
The situation has raised concerns about the safety of residents and the potential impact on local infrastructure and services. Emergency services are on high alert, and further updates are expected in the coming hours.
