The Kharkiv Prosecutor’s Office has released shocking footage of the aftermath of a massive attack by Russian drones — an strike that occurred in the early hours of April 30
This event once again sounded a loud warning about the scale of the tragedy that the country is experiencing amid constant military trials and waves of destruction. The publicly released video clearly shows that Russian "Geran-2" drones mercilessly destroyed residential neighborhoods in Kharkiv, covering the city with bloody traces of war. Cracked multi-storey buildings with battered facades and wrecked Kharkiv cars are part of the brutal nighttime landscape. The footage also depicts rescue workers extinguishing fires in their routine efforts, as well as others providing assistance to wounded residents who sustained serious injuries from the shelling. This scene has become a symbol of the city's relentless fight against Russian aggression. Earlier, the Kharkiv Prosecutor's Office issued an official statement that on the evening of April 29, Russian military launched a drone attack group on the city. They used the so-called "Geran-2" drones — capable of delivering targeted strikes — which caused explosions right in the city center. As a result of the attack, several residents died, and over thirty-nine were injured of varying severity. This assault is a further demonstration of Russia's systematic war against the peaceful population of Kharkiv. The façade of the information attack — photos and videos from the scene of the tragedy — serve as evidence that the war in the city continues, increasingly aggressive and destructive. Official figures emphasize that this attack is yet another confirmation of Russia's efforts to intimidate and destroy Kharkiv's infrastructure, keeping the city at the center of the Russian military aggressor's attention. Emergency response services worked tirelessly through the night, combating the aftermath of the attack. They extinguished fires, evacuated the wounded, and provided first aid. Meanwhile, for the residents of the city, this night was yet another reminder that the war is intensifying, and the stress for ordinary citizens is growing. Currently, investigations and recovery efforts are underway in Kharkiv. Local authorities urge residents to remain cautious, trust in state support, and stay vigilant. The extent of the destruction and human losses only reinforce appeals from the international community to increase support for Ukraine in its fight for freedom and independence. Each such attack is not just about destruction but also a call for all of us to continue resisting the aggressor, to restore peace and security in the Kharkiv region.
