Russian occupying forces have again launched a missile strike on the Kharkiv region, resulting in a tragic escalation of the situation in the village of Chystovidivka, Kunievska hromada
According to official sources, including Oleg Sinegubov, head of the Kharkiv Regional Military Administration, the attack caused casualties and further destruction in the region’s peaceful territories. The incident occurred on June 3rd. The enemy fire, reportedly delivered using a multiple rocket launcher system (MLRS), indicates a powerful strike. As a result of this attack, at least two civilians—a woman and a man—lost their lives in Chystovidivka, both of whom were caught in the affected area. Additionally, three residents sustained serious injuries and are currently receiving medical treatment; their condition is assessed as currently stable but severe. Overall, the situation in the region remains tense. Local authorities and law enforcement agencies have already begun investigating the causes and consequences of this incident, and are conducting necessary investigative actions to clarify all circumstances of the attack. Soldiers and volunteers urge residents to exercise particular caution and avoid potentially dangerous areas, as Russian troops are actively engaged in combat operations near the borders and in territories still under their control. Regional authorities in Kharkiv emphasize once again the importance of strengthening defenses and supporting the population during this difficult time for the country. Security and the protection of peaceful communities continue to be a priority in daily discussions among government officials. The situation remains tense, and the consequences of this latest shelling will be felt in local communities for a long time. Meanwhile, the Ukrainian military and security services are actively working to neutralize enemy weaponry and improve the protection of civilians against further attacks. The government calls on citizens to remain vigilant and to provide any information regarding suspicious objects or enemy activity, as coordinated efforts and cooperation between local communities and law enforcement are crucial in resisting aggression. The issue of civilian casualties remains one of the most painful aspects of this war, reminding the international community of the price paid for the freedom and independence of Ukrainians. In the affected areas where fighting continues, people remain resilient, striving to maintain their daily routines and hope for a positive development of events. All of Ukraine sincerely condolences the families of those killed and wishes a speedy recovery to the wounded. At the same time, the state emphasizes the need to strengthen security measures and exert global international pressure on the aggressor country to halt further acts of violence. Only through joint efforts, united in the fight for freedom and peace, can we overcome this dark chapter in Ukrainian history.
