Quote from Tymoshko: "In Borova, two civilians have been killed as a result of shelling – a 55-year-old woman and a 59-year-old man. Their bodies were retrieved from under the rubble of private houses that were razed to the ground."

Details: Tymoshko added that there were two waves of attacks on Kharkiv.

Quote: "First with missiles [it was established that two Iskander M missiles flew into the city centre, while three S-300 missiles targeted the Industrialnyi District - ed.], then with Shahed UAVs. 28 people were injured, including two children. All civilians.

Fires broke out in houses. Residential apartment buildings, shops, a hotel, a cafe, office premises and cars were damaged. All specialised services promptly arrived at the places of hits of Russian missiles and UAVs."

Details: As a result of attacks, windows were broken in more than 50 buildings. Tymoshko said the police have taken them under guard.

During the past day, Kupiansk, Derhachi and Vovchansk territorial hromadas came under fire from the Russians  [a hromada is an administrative unit designating a village, several villages, or a town, and their adjacent territories - ed.]. Tymoshko added that the Russians had targeted peaceful settlements with artillery and mortars, and had used aircraft.
