Explosions Reported in Kharkiv Following Renewed Russian Aerial Assault
Fresh explosions were reported in Kharkiv in the early hours of June 30, 2026, as Russian forces intensified their aerial campaign against northeastern Ukraine. The city's air defense systems were engaged as the regional administration warned of incoming drone and missile threats. The strike follows a series of lethal attacks on the previous day that targeted residential areas, further straining the city's power grid and emergency services during the ongoing summer offensive.
