Russia strikes Ukraine's Kharkiv with a unique FPV drone for the first time: What it signals

"This is a new, even more insidious threat, which indicates an attempt to find vulnerabilities in the city's defense," Terekhov wrote.

He also clarified that there were a total of 7 Russian attacks on Kharkiv over the past week. As a result, 11 people were injured, including a child. A 14-year-old suffered a head injury. There were no killed.

"The destruction, as before, affected exclusively civilian infrastructure: private houses, multi-storey residential buildings, a printing house, and office premises were damaged," Terekhov noted.

Russian attack on Kharkiv

On the night of May 22, explosions were heard in Kharkiv. Mayor Ihor Terekhov confirmed this information, noting that the city was under Russian drone attacks. However, he later edited his post to remove the reference to drones. The next post referred directly to the missile strike.
