WESTERN PERSPECTIVE

Russian air attacks on Ukraine's Kharkiv wound at least 15

Russian forces attacked Ukraine's second-largest city Kharkiv and the surrounding region with guided aerial bombs on Sunday, wounding at least 15 people, Kharkiv Regional Governor Oleh Syniehubov said.

Syniehubov, writing on the Telegram messaging app, said the attack damaged two residential buildings and windows of an infrastructure facility, two supermarkets, a cafe, 21 kiosks and a shopping centre.

There were four interior ministry employees among those injured in Kharkiv, the governor said.

The eastern city has become a frequent target of Russian air attacks since Russia launched its full-scale invasion in February 2022.

Syniehubov said Russian forces had badly damaged a five-storey apartment building in Kivsharivka, a small town near Kupiansk, east of Kharkiv.

Volodymyr Tymoshko, head of the regional police, said three residents died in the attack. A woman was rescued overnight, but further such efforts were hampered by ongoing Russian attacks, regional authorities said.

 

RUSSIAN PERSPECTIVE

Russia hits military and energy facilities in Ukraine – MOD

Russian forces have carried out major strikes against numerous targets in Ukraine, including airfields and energy infrastructure, the Defense Ministry in Moscow reported on Monday.

In a regular update posted on its Telegram channel, the ministry stated its military had struck energy facilities and an oil refinery used by the Ukrainian army.

Russia also targeted UAV workshops and storage sites for unmanned boats.

In addition, the ministry stated, Russian forces had used tactical aviation, drones, missiles and artillery in strikes against various concentrations of enemy forces and military equipment in 132 districts.

The update also revealed that Russia’s air defense systems had shot down four US-made HIMARS multiple launch rocket systems, a French-made Hammer guided aerial bomb, and 42 aircraft-type UAVs.

The ministry had earlier reported that the Russian military had hit a compound used by Kraken, a Ukrainian nationalist unit designated by Moscow as a terrorist organization.

A commando regiment operating under the Ukrainian military intelligence agency HUR, Kraken was established in 2022 by former members of the neo-Nazi Azov Battalion and other intelligence officers.

HUR commander Kirill Budanov has praised its fighters for their motivation “to kill the enemy.”Like the Azov Battalion, the sabotage unit welcomes radical Ukrainian nationalists and neo-Nazis joining its ranks.
