Russian strike on Ukraine

Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, Russia has been regularly attacking Ukraine using missiles, drones, artillery, and guided aerial bombs. Russians resort to drone attacks on Ukraine every night. For example, on the night of June 12, Russia launched 63 drones and drone simulators at Ukraine.

On the same night, the Russians also attacked Kharkiv. As a result of the Russian attack, fires broke out in the Saltivskyi, Slobidskyi, and Shevchenkivskyi districts of Kharkiv.
