On September 16, Russian aggressors targeted Kharkiv, striking an industrial zone. Later, the police reported that the Russian forces attacked the city with Iskander-K missiles. The shelling caused damage to civilian businesses and private residential houses, resulting in fires.
On the same night, the occupiers once again launched an attack on Kharkiv using S-300 surface-to-air missiles, hitting a civilian industrial building.
On August 14, Russian forces shelled Kozacha Lopan in the Kharkiv region from a tank. As a result of this attack, one man lost his life, and three others were wounded.
