Previous assaults on Chuhuiv
Russia has repeatedly targeted civilian and critical infrastructure in the city.
In early August, Russian forces attacked a critical infrastructure facility in Chuhuiv, plunging parts of the city into a blackout.
In addition, the Kharkiv region came under a massive Russian missile and drone attack on June 9. At that time, three people, including a pregnant woman, were killed in the strike on Chuhuiv, while another 15 people were injured in Kharkiv.
Last year, a Russian missile strike also set fire to a civilian industrial facility in Chuhuiv.
