This was stated by the head of the Kharkiv Regional Military Administration, Oleg Synegubov, during a telethon.

The city of Kharkiv was massively attacked by about 15 "Shaheeds". There were 17 of them in total, if you take into account the region. They actually struck in a record 1-2 minutes.

According to him, there were "arrivals" in 11 locations. In particular, there were three hits on residential buildings.

60 people were injured, including nine children. Three more people died. One woman is in extremely serious condition.

The enemy changes tactics. First, he significantly increases the altitude of the "Shaheeds". They initially move (at an altitude of 4-5 thousand meters — ed.) and begin a sharp descent before the target.

He clarified that the enemy is inventing new tactics to destroy civilian enterprises, as well as housing.

Let us recall that on the night of June 11, the Russian occupiers attacked Kharkiv with their strike drones. "Flights" over residential buildings were recorded. The Osnovyansky and Slobidsky districts of the city were under attack.
