Quote from Popova: "The Russians carried out major strikes on Kharkiv. Central neighbourhoods have possibly been hit. We are awaiting a report from emergency services. All [relevant services] are at work [at the scene]."

Update: Terekhov has later reported that two Kharkiv neighbourhoods were attacked: the Kholodnohirskyi and the Novobavarskyi neighbourhoods. Industrial and infrastructure targets have been hit.

Syniehubov said at 06:48 that a Russian missile hit an industrial plant in the Kholodnohirskyi neighbourhood soon after midnight on 4 October. A fire broke out, but early reports indicate there are no casualties.

Another missile hit a critical infrastructure target in the Novobavarskyi district, killing a 46-year-old woman. A fire also broke out, and has been contained.
