The enemy struck the central part of the city of Kharkov and the Industrial district with two guided bombs and two S-300 missiles.
Four victims are known. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Ukrainian forces were preparing a “very specific and fair” response to Russian strikes on Kharkov and eastern Ukraine.
Recently, Russian troops have intensified their attacks on Kharkov. As Mayor Igor Terekhov said the other day, Russian troops most often fire at Kharkov from S-300s from the Belgorod region of Russia – these shells reach the city in 40 seconds, but they are also increasingly using “shaheds”.
Residential buildings and civilian infrastructure were under today’s attack by the Russians in Kharkov.
What is known about the situation in the city
The energy system of the city of Kharkov experienced large-scale destruction as a result of massive enemy shelling.
As Kharkiv Mayor Igor Terekhov said on air at the national telethon, strict blackout schedules have been introduced in the city.
Critical infrastructure has now been healed. We provide light to residential buildings according to schedules, but often they are not met because there is not enough voltage,” the mayor emphasized.
He also noted that despite the difficult situation with energy supply, electric transport is partially operating in the city.
We launched the metro with train arrival intervals of 10-12 minutes during rush hour, and at other times – 20 minutes. Every day a certain number of autonomous trolleybuses, as well as municipal buses, run around the city,” said Igor Terekhov.
The blackout of the Neutron Source nuclear installation, which occurred due to shelling, does not pose a radiation threat to Kharkov, Terekhov said.
The backup power system is connected. In addition, power was restored on another line. Therefore, there is no radiation threat to Kharkov,” the mayor emphasized.
The mayor also thanked the entrepreneurs who continue to work on generators and provide services to Kharkiv residents. He emphasized that, despite problems with power supply, there is no shortage of food and fuel in Kharkov.
