In the Saltivskyi district of Kharkiv, a bomb hit near a body of water in a densely populated residential area, killing a 69-year-old woman and a 73-year-old man. Five others were injured, and residential buildings were damaged.

Another hit was recorded in the village of Cherkaska Lozova, where houses were damaged. In Mala Danylivka, a bomb struck a forested area, but there were no casualties.

Preliminary data suggests that the Russians used FAB-250 bombs with a unified planning and correction module. Two Su-34 fighter jets launched the bombs from Tomarovka in the Belgorod region.

The Prosecutor's Office noted that a pre-trial investigation has been launched for violating the laws and customs of war, combined with intentional murder.
