Russian forces shell 12 settlements in Kharkiv region in 24 hours, leaving six dead, 21 injured
Ukrinform reports that Russian forces attacked 12 populated areas in Kharkiv region over a 24-hour period, killing six people and injuring 21 others. A separate Ukraine NOW report describes a Russian drone attack on the Kyiv-Odesa highway in Fastiv district, where vehicles caught fire and casualties were reported, with figures still being confirmed.
Why it matters
The reports describe civilian casualties from Russian strikes in two separate regions of Ukraine within the same period, though only the Kharkiv toll is given as a firm figure.
What's unclear
- The Kyiv-Odesa highway drone attack is in Fastiv district, not Kharkiv region, so it is unclear whether it belongs to this incident or was attached in error
- Casualty figures for the Fastiv district attack are preliminary and not yet specified
- The reports do not break down the Kharkiv casualties by settlement or specify which weapons were used
