Shelling of the Kharkiv region

Russian forces significantly intensified the shelling of border settlements in the Kharkiv region after they launched their offensive on the region.

For attacks, the enemy often uses guided aviation bombs, which cause severe destruction. Just a few days ago, Nazar Voloshyn, the spokesperson for the Khortytsia operational-strategic group, stated that over 20 such aerial bombs were dropped on the Vovchansk community within a day.

Moreover, across the entire front line, the enemy often uses cluster munitions for attacks, intended to kill people. Such projectiles not only target the positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces but also hit populated areas.
