Russian Guided Bomb Attacks on Kharkiv Residential Districts
Russian forces utilized guided aerial bombs to strike residential infrastructure in the suburbs of Kharkiv, killing five civilians and causing widespread power outages. The high-altitude glide bombs have become a persistent threat, circumventing traditional air defenses and forcing thousands of residents to seek shelter in the city's metro system. Ukrainian officials emphasized the urgent need for long-range interceptors to target the Russian aircraft launching these munitions. Recovery efforts are ongoing amidst fears of further strikes on energy facilities.
