In Kharkiv, explosions have once again occurred, and another unfortunate incident related to a new attack by Russian drones has been recorded
By the evening of April 22, the situation in the city became particularly tense: pro-Russian unmanned aerial vehicles once again caused chaos and destruction, resulting in a fire that engulfed one of the garages in the Saltivskyi district. According to Kharkiv Mayor Ihor Terekhov, this latest shelling was the result of an attack by a Russian "Molniya" drone. The official's statement fully reflects the situation: “Kharkiv is again under attack by an enemy UAV. As a result of the fall of a 'Molniya' drone in the Saltivskyi district, a garage is on fire. No casualties have been reported. Data collection on the consequences of the 'strike' is ongoing.” This indicates that the situation remains under control, but risks continue to be high. What were the preconditions for this incident? Throughout the day, the streets and neighborhoods of Kharkiv were again subjected to attacks — the city was hit by strikes in four different districts. According to local authorities, at least 12 separate impacts were recorded. Official information states that at least nine people were injured as a result of these attacks. Their lives and health are not at risk, but the number of property and infrastructure damages has increased as a result of the strikes. Russian bombardments of Kharkiv have long become a tragic reality for the city, which often remains under fire even in the short term. Recent events indicate that the enemy is not easing its intensity and seeks to increase pressure on the civilian population, disrupting the peace of Kharkiv residents during everyday life and creating new security threats. The local authorities are conducting an investigation and collecting all necessary data to assess the extent of the damages and determine whether any objects were damaged or if any residents were hurt after this nighttime attack. Tensions in Kharkiv are already traditionally rising, and residents are once again forced to endure an already difficult time while constantly expecting new provocations and rocket or drone strikes. Overall, the situation remains tense — and even despite active defense measures and warning protocols, the threat of Russian air and drone attacks remains a real danger, forcing Kharkiv residents to live in a state of constant anxiety and uncertainty. Authorities are calling on residents to exercise caution and follow all safety rules to minimize risks in this challenging situation for the city and the country.
