Russian Missiles Strike Kharkiv
Russian forces launched a double missile strike against Kharkiv overnight, damaging residential buildings and igniting a large garage fire that injured one person, according to NV.
The attack hit the Industrialnyi and Saltivskyi districts, Mayor Ihor Terekhov reported. In the Saltivskyi district, 38 garage boxes and 15 vehicles went up in flames across 900 square meters on the property of a garage cooperative, the State Emergency Service reported. High-rise apartment buildings, cars, and additional garages sustained damage across the city during the nighttime bombardment.
The assault followed a late-night drone strike on November 10, when a Russian Shahed drone hit the Kholodnohirskyi district, setting a private home on fire and injuring four people, Terekhov stated.
Radio-Controlled Drones Reach City
Russian forces are increasingly utilizing radio-controlled drones that manage to penetrate defenses and reach Kharkiv, Oleh Syniehubov, head of the Kharkiv Regional State Administration, told Construction Inspection. Military personnel are currently working on countermeasures to intercept these specific devices, and initial tactical decisions have already been implemented, he added.
“The enemy is targeting ordinary objects rather than military ones: multi-story buildings, shops, cars, and places where many people gather,” Syniehubov told Construction Inspection, describing the strikes as an attempt to intimidate residents.
Attacks are arriving in distinct waves, following periods of relative quiet lasting two to three weeks, according to regional military administration data. Air defense units continue to shoot down numerous incoming apparatuses before they hit their targets, though daily drone strikes have persisted for two weeks.
