Russian aggressors launched a powerful strike on the communal infrastructure of Kupiansk this morning: one person was killed and several others wounded as a result of the attack
During the morning unrest, residents of Kupiansk in Kharkiv region found themselves under attack by Russian forces. According to official information from the Regional Military Administration (OMA), the attack was carried out using a Russian drone — the so-called FPV drone — which resulted in the death of one adult man, and four others were injured with varying degrees of severity. This incident occurred around 8:00 a.m., after the night air alarm had already ceased, and silence was no longer broken. According to Oleksii Sinegubov, head of the Kharkiv Regional Military Administration, the tragedy took place in Kupiansk, a city that has repeatedly become a target of enemy attacks in recent months. “The enemy deliberately attacked Kupiansk around 8:00 in the morning. As a result of this attack, a 55-year-old resident of the city was killed, and four men aged 58, 49, 40, and 53 sustained injuries.” Three of the wounded are currently in the hospital, receiving necessary medical care. Preliminary reports indicate that all those affected are employees of local utility services, who were performing their duties to ensure the city’s vital functions during these difficult wartime conditions. The explosion also damaged official company vehicles providing municipal services, creating additional difficulties for repair works and infrastructure recovery. The regional head emphasized that preliminary findings confirm the enemy used an FPV drone — an attack drone that Russian invaders have employed to destroy several facilities in the city. This is yet another example of how Ukraine faces new forms of terror from the aggressor country, underscoring the importance of rapid response and ensuring the safety of local residents. According to local sources, the situation in Kupiansk remains tense as occupiers continue active combat operations, trying to sow fear and chaos in the region. Local authorities and security services are already conducting operational measures to detect and neutralize any new threats, strengthening the city’s defenses and supporting residents during this anxious time. This latest enemy strike serves as a reminder of the urgent need to enhance security and unite efforts between civilians and authorities to oppose the aggressor. Despite the horrors of war, Ukrainians continue to demonstrate resilience and courage, resisting the enemy and fighting for their right to live in peace on their native land.
