This was announced by the head of the Kharkiv Regional State Administration, Oleg Synegubov.

According to him, "one civilian was killed, another was hospitalized in a serious condition. The details of the individuals are being established."

Residential buildings were damaged. Emergency services are on the scene.

The battle for Kupyansk continues

The head of the Kupyansk city military administration, Andriy Besedin, spoke about the situation around the city.

He officially confirmed that the Russian invaders control all roads to the city and are attacking cars approaching it with FPV drones.

As of today, it is extremely difficult for even humanitarian cargo to reach this settlement.

Unfortunately, the Ukrposhta branch was closed, due to security measures to prevent crowds, we could no longer keep this branch open and expose employees and visitors to danger every second. ATMs also stopped working due to the use of a large number of fpv drones specifically on cashiers' cars, — Besedin said.
