Russian drone strikes apartment roof in Kharkiv

Russian forces launched a drone attack on Kharkiv over the course of Aug. 1-2, specifically targeting the Industrialnyi, Kyivskyi, and Saltivskyi districts, according to Mayor Ihor Terekhov. The attack resulted in at least three casualties, with a 74-year-old man, an 8-year-old girl, and a 13-year-old boy experiencing acute stress reactions in the aftermath.

Medical professionals attended to the victims, providing them with necessary medical care. A Molniya drone, a Russian-made drone, later targeted the Kyivskyi district, as confirmed by Terekhov. Authorities are currently evaluating the full impact of the attack. This follows a previous Russian strike on Aug. 1, which destroyed approximately 600,000 textbooks and other books belonging to the Ranok publishing house and KnyhoLand bookstore chain in Kharkiv.

The damage from this strike is estimated at UAH 1 billion, as stated by Ranok Director Viktor Kruhlov.
