Double Russian missile attack in Kharkiv: one dead and six injured

One person was killed and six injured following a double rocket attack conducted by Russian forces with Banderol missiles in the industrial district of Kharkiv, the Kyiv Independent reported.

Kharkiv Mayor Ihor Terekhov confirmed the toll of the attack, adding that an administrative building and some vehicles were set on fire. At least ten residential buildings were damaged in the attack. Search operations for any victims or injured are still underway.

Russia's use of Banderol missiles has increased. Combining the characteristics of a cruise missile and a jet drone, this missile is difficult for Ukrainian air defenses to intercept.

The Ukrainian newspaper also reports that a Russian drone hit an energy infrastructure in the Poltava region, leaving around 22 thousand people without electricity. At the moment no victims have been reported. The attack comes just two days after another Russian drone hit a power plant in the Lubny district, leaving around 6,000 people without electricity.
