Recent Russian attacks in Kharkiv and its surrounding regions have resulted in significant casualties and destruction. A missile strike on Balakliia killed a 70-year-old woman and injured several others, while an air attack in Kharkiv injured six and sparked fires. Additionally, a drone attack led to the death of approximately 13,000 pigs at a local farm, raising concerns over food security. Multiple buildings, including a shopping center, were damaged in these strikes, which have intensified throughout the month, with reports of drones and missiles targeting civilian areas and infrastructure. Authorities note that the continued bombardment has left communities in distress, with civilians bearing the brunt of the violence.
