On the night of August 18, Kharkiv came under massive attack by Russian drones. The strikes on the Industrial District killed at least three people, including a 2-year-old boy, and injured 17 others, including several children.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This was announced by<\/a> the head of the Kharkiv OVA, Oleg Synegubov.<\/p>\n

At around 1 a.m. on August 18, enemy drones were spotted in the Kharkiv region. Within minutes, the first explosions were heard, and later it became known about numerous destruction and casualties.<\/p>\n

According to the OVA, the Industrial District of the city was hit by an enemy strike. The rocket hit the ground near residential buildings, damaging more than ten high-rise buildings and five parked cars. The blast wave shattered more than a thousand windows.<\/p>\n

Initially, 11 victims were reported, including a 13-year-old child. People suffered injuries and acute stress reactions. Over time, the number of victims increased – among them were found a 10-year-old boy, a 19-year-old girl, a 46-year-old man and a 47-year-old woman, who had to be hospitalized. Also, a 6-year-old boy, a 17-year-old girl and a 16-year-old boy required medical attention.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the attack resulted in civilian casualties. Initially, it was reported that a 45-year-old man had died, and later rescuers confirmed the death of a 2-year-old boy who had sustained non-life-threatening injuries when the UAV hit an apartment building. Later, another death was reported, a 55-year-old woman. This brings the death toll to three.<\/p>\n

Among the injured are people of different ages: from children to elderly women, including a 69-year-old, 55-year-old, and 61-year-old victim who is receiving necessary medical care.<\/p>\n

As of 6:45 a.m., an emergency rescue operation is underway in the Industrial District. Rescuers from the State Emergency Service have freed a woman from the rubble, who, according to preliminary data, may be the mother of the deceased boy. The total number of victims has reached 17 at this time.<\/p>\n

All specialized services continue to work at the scene of the tragedy.<\/p>\n
