Russian forces launched a massive overnight drone attack on Chuhuiv in the Kharkiv region on November 7, sparking a large fire at the impact sites, according to Chuhuiv mayor Halyna Minayeva.

Recently, media outlets reported that more than a dozen explosions were heard in the Chuhuiv community. The city’s mayor confirmed that over ten strike drones were directed toward Chuhuiv.

"Once again, our city became the target, and more than ten drones were launched at Chuhuiv. Preliminary reports indicate damage to a civilian enterprise and an educational institution. A large fire broke out at the impact sites," Minayeva said.

She added that emergency services are already on the scene and taking appropriate action.

Chuhuiv strikes

A week earlier, on the night of October 29, Russian forces also attacked the Kharkiv region with drones, with Chuhuiv suffering the main strike.

The attack caused about six impacts on the premises of a private food industry enterprise, sparking a fire at a finished goods warehouse covering about 100 square meters.

Chuhuiv also came under a drone attack on the evening of October 17. At least twelve explosions were heard in the city, leaving almost all neighborhoods without power.
