In Kharkiv, powerful explosions have sounded again: Russian forces conducted a repeated missile strike overnight on April 24, causing renewed waves of alarm and destruction
According to the city mayor, Ihor Terekhov, two civilians were wounded as a result of the attack, and the series of explosions once again confirm that the city remains under constant fire. The details of the event speak for themselves. Around 05:00 in the morning, a thunderous detonation of two explosions was heard in Kharkiv, marking the second missile attack of that night. Russia again used cruise missiles to strike infrastructure and residential districts. Reliable sources report that one of the hits targeted densely built-up residential areas, causing significant damage to multi-story buildings — from broken windows to façade destructions. Currently, specialists are working to inspect the impact sites and assess the extent of the damage caused. Kharkiv’s mayor, Ihor Terekhov, confirmed that the missile attack occurred at night and was very powerful: “Kharkiv was hit for the second time in one night by cruise missiles. Two powerful explosions were heard. One of the impacts hit a densely populated residential area, causing panic among residents. Windows were shattered in several high-rise buildings, and two civilians were wounded. Preliminary investigations confirm the scale of destruction and damage in the city. Meanwhile, an investigation is ongoing to establish all circumstances and the consequences of this nighttime attack.” The background of this series of tense events proves that Kharkiv remains always targeted by Russian forces. During the night alone, the city was hit by seven missile strikes. Additionally, around 3 a.m., Kharkiv was attacked by drones. The enemy employed a strategically important tactic of massed combined strikes, using cruise missiles, drones, and ballistic missiles simultaneously to increase destruction and destabilize the city’s peaceful population. These night attacks once again remind us of the difficult and tense situation in the Kharkiv region, which remains on the front lines in the fight for Ukraine’s independence and security. Local authorities urge residents to exercise maximum caution, and emergency services to respond quickly and effectively to new challenges from the aggressor. There is still much work to be done before full recovery and repelling the enemy, and each new shelling confirms that the struggle continues, and Ukraine is determinedly moving toward victory.
