Russia's Drone Terror Attack on Kharkiv: Four Dead, Over Ten Injured

During the night of April 4th, Russian forces launched several waves of drone strikes using Shahed drones on civilian infrastructure in Kharkiv. As a result of these attacks, there were fatalities and injuries, and damage was recorded to civilian residential buildings, including the private sector. This was reported by the head of the Kharkiv Regional Military Administration, Oleh Synyehubov.

"Four people have died, at least 10 have been injured. Multi-story buildings and private sector houses have been damaged," said the head of the Kharkiv Regional Military Administration.

Kharkiv Mayor Ihor Terekhov also confirmed that four people died in Kharkiv due to the attack by Russian Shahed drones. He stated that among the dead were three rescuers who were injured during a subsequent strike by occupiers on the city when they arrived at the scene of one of the strikes to deal with the aftermath of the attack. The mayor of Kharkiv also reported 12 injuries.

"The city was attacked by Shaheds that hit residential buildings. One hit a 14-story flat building, leading to damage to flats on several floors and damage to the exterior wall. There are casualties and fatalities as a result of the strikes. During a subsequent attack on a residential building elsewhere, three rescuers died. In total, we have four fatalities. Among the injured was an emergency medical nurse who arrived at the scene with a medical team to provide assistance," wrote the mayor of Kharkiv.

It should be noted that the explosions in Kharkiv occurred around 01:01 during an announced air alarm due to the threat of enemy missile strikes. Later, it was reported that Shaheds attacked private and multi-apartment residential buildings in Kharkiv. One missile strike caused a fire, while another resulted in the collapse of part of a residential building.

The Gaze publication reported that Ukrainian law enforcement agencies have not yet determined the exact number of casualties from the actions of Russian occupiers in the liberated city of Bucha in the Kyiv region two years ago.
