Shelling of Kozacha Lopan in the Kharkiv region
The village of Kozacha Lopan has been under Russian military occupation since February 2022. Its occupants seized control during a large-scale invasion of Ukraine. Ukrainian forces regained control of the village in September 2022. However, the aggressors have been consistently shelling the village since liberation from occupation. For instance, on July 20th, Russian forces attacked Kozacha Lopan from a tank, resulting in one casualty.
