Russian Guided Bombs Hit Kharkiv Apartment Block, Killing One and Injuring Nine

Russian guided bombs struck an apartment block in Kharkiv’s Kholodnohirskiy district in the early hours of Saturday, killing at least one person and injuring nine others, including a 6-year-old child. Mayor Ihor Terekhov said a body was pulled from the rubble hours after the attack. Oleh Syniehubov, head of the regional administration, said five of the nine injured people were hospitalized.

A Russian drone struck a civilian car in Kharkiv on Friday evening, killing one man and injuring the woman driving, Syniehubov said. Ukraine’s air force said it shot down 92 of 99 Russian drones launched overnight, with seven striking targets in three locations. Russian air defenses repelled a drone attack on an oil refinery in Tyumen, Western Siberia, according to Gov.

Alexander Moor. He said staff were evacuated and there was no damage to the facility. Russia’s Defense Ministry said its forces shot down 177 Ukrainian drones during the night. Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said two Ukrainian drones were shot down on approach to Moscow.

Ukraine has repeatedly targeted Russian oil facilities to cut Moscow’s revenue for the war and make Russians feel the consequences of the invasion, with some areas reporting fuel shortages. In one of the biggest drone attacks since Russia’s full-scale invasion over four years ago, Ukraine on Thursday struck a major Moscow oil refinery for a second time in a week, sending plumes of black smoke over the capital and disrupting hundreds of flights.

Moscow did not immediately acknowledge or comment on the attacks.
