Deadly Drone Assault Hits Ukraine's Kharkiv City
Deadly Drone Assault Hits Ukraine's Kharkiv City
At least two lives lost as Kharkiv experiences the largest drone strike to date.
In a devastating series of strikes, Kharkiv, Ukraine's second-largest city, faced its most significant drone assault yet, resulting in the death of at least two individuals and injuries to 17 others, according to Mayor Ihor Terekhov. The overnight attack saw Russia deploying 48 drones, in addition to two missiles and four gliding bombs, leaving a trail of destruction across the city. "We have a lot of damage," Terekhov remarked, noting that three high-rise residential buildings sustained severe impacts, with harrowing footage capturing parts of one structure engulfed in flames.
This latest strike follows a deadly wave of attacks across Ukraine just a night earlier, where six lives were claimed and 80 individuals were injured after Russia dispatched over 400 drones and nearly 40 missiles in a coordinated assault. These aggressive air operations by Russia have fueled tensions as Ukraine continues its offensive tactics, including daring drone strikes targeting strategic warplanes across multiple air bases deep within Russian territory.
In a recent development, Ukraine's security service, SBU, revealed that their Operation Spider Web successfully struck at least 40 Russian aircraft during a strike on Sunday. Reports indicate that the drones used in this operation were intricately smuggled into Russia, concealed under wooden cabins on lorries, and deployed without the knowledge of the drivers. Such tactics demonstrate the lengths both nations are willing to go to exert their military capabilities amid the ongoing war, which was ignited by President Vladimir Putin's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
