Shelling of Kucherivka and Kupiansk district

The Russian occupation forces have been relentlessly bombarding the village of Kucherivka in the Kupiansk district of the Kharkiv region. Specifically, in mid-July, the Russians dropped an aerial bomb on Kucherivka, resulting in a 74-year-old man sustaining injuries. According to Deputy Minister of Defense Hanna Maliar, during the past week, the occupiers attempted to reclaim territories in the Kharkiv region that they had previously lost. As a result, the most intense fighting took place in the Kupiansk direction.
