Russian shelling of Kharkiv region
As the head of the Kharkiv Regional Military Administration Oleh Syniehubov said earlier, the Russian occupiers have intensified shelling of the Kharkiv region. This applies to several districts in the region - Kharkiv, Bohodukhiv, Chuhuiv districts, Vovchansk and Kupiansk directions. In particular, Russia is deliberately striking twice at Kharkiv. The second wave is aimed at law enforcement officers and rescuers who come to eliminate the first wave of shelling.
At the moment, the Kharkiv region is allowing the forced evacuation of families with children from settlements in the north of the region to be extended. These settlements are constantly under Russian fire.
