Strike on Kharkiv
On the night of February 10, Russian occupiers attacked Kharkiv with kamikaze drones. The mayor of the city, Ihor Terekhov, stated that enemy drones hit a gas station. However, later, the head of the Kharkiv Regional Military Administration reported that an oil depot had been attacked.
Due to the shelling, there was a fuel leak, resulting in a powerful fire outbreak. It engulfed private residential buildings, leading to the destruction of around 15 houses.
It is reported that seven people died as a result of the attack. Five of them belonged to a single family with three children. The mayor of Kharkiv does not rule out the possibility of finding more victims of the Russian attack.
