In Kharkiv, as a result of a Russian attack using attack drones last night, a plane landed in the Slobidskyi district of the city and damaged residential buildings. A video from the scene, where emergency services are working to eliminate the consequences, was released by the Kharkiv Regional Prosecutor's Office.

The released footage shows that a fire broke out at a civilian facility as a result of an enemy attack, but the fire has already been extinguished. Representatives of the State Emergency Service and rescuers are walking around the multi-story building and clearing the rubble.

Near the damaged civilian infrastructure facility, the wreckage of a downed Shahed can be seen on the ground - these Iranian-made barrage munitions are labeled Geran-2 by the Russian invaders.
