Shelling in the Kharkiv region
As previously reported by the head of the regional state administration, Oleh Syniehubov, Russian occupiers have intensified shelling in the Kharkiv region. This affects several districts of the region, including Kharkiv, Bohodukhiv, Chuhuiv, Vovchansk, and Kupiansk directions.
At the moment, there are considerations for the expansion of forced evacuation of families with children from settlements in the northern part of the region. This concerns settlements that are constantly under enemy shelling.
