Russia Strikes Kharkiv With Jet-Powered Shahed Drone, Injuring Three and Damaging 10 Homes
A Russian jet-powered Shahed drone struck Kharkiv’s Osnovianskyi district, injuring three civilians and damaging 10 residential buildings. The attack followed another strike on a shopping center, as Moscow continues its intensive drone campaign against the northeastern city.
Russian forces launched a drone attack on the northeastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv on Friday, Oct. 30, injuring three individuals and causing damage to ten residential buildings. The attack, which targeted the Osnovianskyi district, resulted in a fire breaking out, as reported by the city's Mayor Ihor Terekhov. This incident follows a previous Russian drone strike on the same day, which targeted a shopping and entertainment center in Kharkiv’s Kyivskyi district, injuring four people.
The Geran-3 jet-powered attack drone used in the latest assault caused significant damage to the roof of the Dafi shopping and entertainment center, prompting a gradual resumption of operations after emergency crews completed their work and obtained necessary safety approvals. These strikes come amid an intensifying Russian drone campaign against Kharkiv, a city located near the Russian border and Ukraine's second-largest city.
Ukrainian officials have reported previous Russian drone attacks on Kharkiv, including a deadly strike on Oct. 28 that killed one person and injured four others. Ukrainian prosecutors have initiated war crimes investigations into attacks on civilian targets in Kharkiv, emphasizing the gravity of the ongoing conflict.
