Synegubov: Russia has intensified strikes with “Shaheds” on the Kharkiv region – special activity at night

During January of this year, the Russians began to more actively launch “Shaheds” on the territory of the Kharkiv region, targeting energy infrastructure and civilian objects.

This was reported by the head of the Kharkiv Regional Military Administration Oleg Synegubov: “Regarding the security situation – we actually have strikes every day, about 10 guided bombs on our territory. What has changed over the past month? Strikes with “Shaheds” have become more active. We observe their presence in our airspace practically around the clock. Special activity at night. On average, there are about 10 “Shaheds”. The targets are clear – this is our critical energy infrastructure, plus civilian objects.”

Synegubov recalled that on December 25, 2024, 13 Russian missiles hit the critical energy infrastructure of the Kharkiv region. He noted that one of the tasks of local authorities is to promptly restore damaged facilities. At the same time, the head of the regional military administration emphasized that the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the military and the top military-political leadership are doing everything possible to protect Kharkiv.

“Regarding strengthening protection, we clearly understand that we are talking about covering substations. This is what we are actually working on, this is the President’s task (I cannot announce the level of protection and what is protected and what is not). We also only have to increase the military component and, of course, passive protection — shelter. Everything that we can hide, we must hide,” he noted.

The head of the regional military administration also noted that cooperation with business on electronic warfare systems continues, which, according to him, are already showing their effectiveness today.

“We clearly understand that the decentralization of the heating system, energy supply are our priorities, which we have been working on for several years and must continue to work on,” added Sinegubov.
