Preliminary reports indicate that these actions resulted in tragic consequences — the death of a local woman. According to Vyacheslav Zadorenko, head of the Dergachi military-civil administration, the incident occurred around 17:06 on Saturday, through an official Telegram channel. He stated that the likely target of the attack was a drone, which delivered a pinpoint strike on the settlement. As a result, a woman born in 1962, a resident of the village, lost her life, apparently caught in the zone of impact. This tragedy once again highlights the level of danger that ongoing war on Kharkiv region poses to peaceful residents, continuing for over a year. Local residents, already living under constant tension, now face new deadly risks due to another shelling by Russian forces. Information about the incident is confirmed by official sources; however, ongoing investigations are still seeking additional details regarding the extent of destruction and the number of injured or affected persons. It is also unknown whether there are other casualties resulting from this attack. Commenting on the situation, local authorities urge residents to stay calm and adhere to safety rules, as the war continues to bring tragedies and destruction. Meanwhile, officials assure that they are doing everything possible to ensure the safety of the population and provide assistance to those affected. This event once again underscores the need for increased international efforts to stop the aggression and protect the Ukrainian people from constant missile and drone strikes. The local community, like all Ukrainians, hopes for the quickest possible establishment of peace and the return of calm to their land.
