On Thursday, December 22, the occupation army of the Russian Federation barbarically shelled Kupyansk and Vovchansk in the Kharkiv region.

According to the head of the Kharkiv Regional Military Administration Oleh Sinegubov, currently, as a result of enemy shelling, at least six victims are known. In Vovchansk, 5 people were injured as a result of shelling. 4 of them (3 men and 1 woman) are employees of the Central District Hospital.

In Izyum, which survived the occupation, a lot of abandoned animals appeared. As the city council said, people suffer from their bites.

Since the beginning of the war, many people left their animals in the city, and after Izyum came under occupation. Homeless animals, the number of which has increased on the streets of Izyum, can come into contact with wild animals and become infected with rabies from them, say doctors.

After the release of Izyum, 11 victims of animal bites went to hospitals, 5 people were prescribed a course of treatment for rabies, i.e. vaccination. Most often, the source of rabies for humans is cats or dogs, but they can be infected after contact with cows, pigs, sheep, goats, bats, and so on.

In the wild, rabies is most often transmitted by wolves, foxes, rats, and hedgehogs. A person becomes infected through a bite or mucous membranes (for example, if an animal’s saliva gets on a wound). Bites on the head, face, and hands are especially dangerous.

Oleg Synegubov, the head of the Kharkiv Regional Military Administration, reported on Telegram that there were no casualties as a result of the attack by Russian troops on Kharkiv on the evening of December 22.

“This evening, an enemy attack on Kharkiv was recorded. Previously, it was a missile attack. The explosion took place on the outskirts of the city. There are no casualties so far,” Sinegubov wrote.

He added that the recovery of critical infrastructure is ongoing in the region.

“Today, on Energy Day, electricity was restored for 1,560 people in the de-occupied territories,” the head of the regional military administration responded.

Earlier on December 22, at approximately 18:00, Sinegubov said that the Russian army probably launched a missile attack on Kharkiv during the national telethon broadcast. Answering a question on live air, he said that he heard the sound of an aircraft arriving on the territory of the regional center.

Russian troops have been on the territory of the Kharkiv region since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine – from February 24, but they could not take the regional center.

As of October 25, 1.8% of the region’s territory (34 settlements) was under occupation, the regional military administration noted. On December 8, Sinegubov reported that 29 settlements remained to be de-occupied in the Kharkiv region.

The occupiers continue to shell the populated areas of the Kharkiv region every day.
