Russian forces attacked Kharkiv with a jet-powered combat drone on the afternoon of November 14. The strike hit the grounds of a medical facility run by the Kharkiv City Council, sparking a fire, according to Kharkiv Mayor Ihor Terekhov.

"The enemy struck the Nemyshlianskyi district with a jet-powered combat drone. We are assessing the consequences," the mayor wrote at 3:29 p.m.

A few minutes later, Terekhov reported a fire at the impact site.

The mayor later clarified that the drone had struck the grounds of a medical facility run by Kharkiv City Council.
