On the morning of May 8, Russian invaders once again caused a horrific tragedy in the Kharkiv region by attacking a civilian drone-kamikaze, resulting in injuries to three women
The events unfolded around 7:05 a.m. near the village of Velyki Prokhody in the Kharkiv district, when the aggressor's military used an FPV-type drone to target civilian transportation. According to official sources published by the Kharkiv Regional Prosecutor’s Office on their Telegram channel, the attack was targeted and unexpected. The enemy drone struck a Renault Sandero car traveling along the road near the settlement, causing serious injuries to the three women inside the vehicle. The youngest victim, an 18-year-old girl, was the least injured, while the more mature women—aged 30 and 58—suffered shrapnel wounds that required immediate hospitalization. Prosecutors reported that the victims received injuries from shrapnel dispersed during the explosion and are currently under medical supervision in Kharkiv hospitals. The number of injured in this tragic event continues to grow; as of the time of publication, three individuals have been confirmed wounded, and their condition remains under medical monitoring. A criminal case has been initiated under Article 438, Part 1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, which pertains to violations of laws regarding the protection of civilians during wartime. This demonstrates the seriousness of the crime committed by the occupying forces, who openly display their deliberate aggression against peaceful residents of the region. This attack in the Kharkiv region serves as a stark reminder of the constant threats faced by civilians in an area where hostilities have been ongoing for over a year. Local law enforcement and volunteers are actively working to establish all circumstances of the incident and ensure public safety in the dangerous areas. Settlements near Kharkiv repeatedly suffer destructive actions, and residents remain in a state of anxiety and uncertainty. Overall, this incident further confirms that Ukrainians risk their lives daily due to relentless attacks by Russian military forces, who stop at nothing to impose their will and intimidate the peaceful population. Authorities and law enforcement agencies are doing everything possible to investigate and stop such crimes, but unfortunately, the consequences of these attacks remain tragic for many families and communities. The situation in the region and further developments are closely monitored by local and national media, maintaining vigilance and informational transparency during these difficult times for the country.
