The Russians have modified FAB-500 bombs. Now, they can reach any point in Kharkiv, states the head of the Kharkiv Regional Military Administration, Oleh Syniehubov.
"The situation is complicated by the fact that the enemy has begun striking Kharkiv with guided FAB-500 aerial bombs, which have quite significant destructive power," Syniehubov said.
He explained that initially, the Russian forces used these munitions only along the front line, particularly in the Kupiansk direction.
"Currently, the FAB-500 has been modified and can now fly up to 80 km, reaching any point in Kharkiv. Therefore, the air raid alerts, which last almost 12 or 16 hours, are all real," the head of the Regional Military Administration noted.
