Russian strikes on Kharkiv
It should be noted that this city often suffers aerial attacks from the Russian army, who use kamikaze drones and various types of missiles for shelling. However, recently, the occupiers have significantly increased their strikes on Kharkiv, as well as the district and region, including destroying the energy and critical infrastructure, which has led to significant electricity problems for residents.
For example, the city was under shelling on April 23. and a day before that, on April 22, Russian forces also struck Kharkiv with a guided aviation missile X-59, which hit the television tower. As a result of the attack, this object of the city's television infrastructure was heavily damaged.
