In Kharkiv, the consequences of another Russian attack on residential areas are being documented. On July 7, at around 10:20, the Russian army struck the Kholodnohirsky district of the city using Geran-2 attack drones.

This was reported by the Kharkiv Regional Prosecutor’s Office.

According to preliminary investigation data, the Russians used six UAVs to attack civilian infrastructure.

As a result of the shelling, 33 people were injured, including three children: two boys aged 17 and 7, as well as a 9-year-old girl. The children were diagnosed with acute stress reactions.
