Kharkiv under daily Russian shelling

Kharkiv suffers from Russian shelling due to its proximity to the border with Russia. The occupiers attack the city with missiles, anti-aircraft guns, drones, and other weapons.

In the spring, Russians intensified their shelling of Kharkiv. Moreover, intelligence notes that the Russians probably have a plan for a new offensive on Kharkiv, but the Russian occupiers have not accumulated the necessary amount of force.

On the night of May 8, the Russian army also attacked Kharkiv. The Russian occupiers sent kamikaze drones to the city. Two Shahids were shot down in the northern part of Kharkiv. Fortunately, no one was injured.
