Russian forces have changed their attack tactics on Kharkiv. Now, Shahed drones strike the city within a very short time frame, states the head of the Kharkiv Regional Military Administration, Oleh Syniehubov.
"The city of Kharkiv was massively attacked by around 15 Shahed drones. In total, there were 17, including those that hit the region. The strikes occurred within a record 1–2 minutes," said the head of the Regional Military Administration.
According to him, impacts were recorded at 11 locations. Among them were three direct hits on residential buildings. Sixty people were injured, including nine children. Three people were killed, and one woman is in critical condition.
"The enemy is changing tactics. First, they significantly increase the altitude of the Shaheds — they initially fly at 4,000–5,000 meters and then sharply descend just before reaching the target," Syniehubov noted.
He added that the enemy is inventing new tactics aimed at destroying civilian infrastructure and residential buildings.
