Kharkiv Targeted by Drone Assault

According to Главком: In the early hours of April 3, the city of Kharkiv came under attack by drones, resulting in civilian casualties and damage across multiple districts. This assault followed a series of strikes on April 2, which also caused significant destruction.

Between April 2 and 3, drone strikes were recorded in the following districts:

• Novobavarskyi
• Kyivskyi
• Shevchenkivskyi
• Saltivskyi
• Osnovianskyi

The attack damaged the windows of a private house and a store building, ignited a fire in a 4-story structure, and caused damage to the ninth floor of an apartment block.

Those injured in the attack included:

• An 8-year-old girl
• A 53-year-old man
• A 74-year-old woman
• A 28-year-old woman
• A 1-month-old boy
• Another individual in the Osnovianskyi district

All victims were diagnosed with acute stress reactions. Kharkiv, Ukraine's second-largest city, has endured frequent aerial attacks since the full-scale invasion began, placing its civilian population under constant threat.

It is notable that on April 2, Kharkiv was also targeted by 'Shahed' attack drones, with 11 strikes recorded, including in the Kyivskyi district. On that day, 'Molniya' combat drones were also deployed to carry out strikes in the Shevchenkivskyi district.
