Russian shelling of Ukraine
Since the beginning of the full-scale war, Russian terrorists have regularly shelled the territory of Ukraine. Civilian infrastructure also comes under fire, which creates an additional threat to ordinary citizens. The enemy uses various types of missiles, drones, guided aerial bombs (KABs), and artillery for attacks.
Terrorists resort to drone attacks every night. During today's shelling, four districts of Kharkiv were affected. The local Barabashovo market was also on fire.
