On the evening of 12 October russia struck Kharkiv. According to the Air Force, nine Banderol (S-8000) munitions were used, while regional governor Oleh Syniehubov said preliminary information pointed to about ten missiles of this type. The State Emergency Service, as cited by Kyiv Post, reported three people killed and at least 15 injured, including a rescuer. The NGO Volunteers Support Ukraine extends condolences to the families of the dead and to all Kharkiv residents who lived through this night.
In the Kholodnohirskyi district the missiles destroyed an entire entrance section of a four-storey residential building, and at least ten private houses were damaged. In the Shevchenkivskyi district a five-storey block was hit: a bank office on the ground floor and six cars caught fire, and windows were blown out in three apartment buildings. Rescuers put out four more fires. People were initially feared trapped under the rubble; the bodies of three victims were later recovered.
Four people were rescued. A 19-year-old man with severe burns was placed in intensive care at a burn unit, and another seriously injured man underwent surgery. Rescuers carried the wounded out of the debris while paramedics worked on the spot.
Fire broke out in several apartments and was fought by the State Emergency Service in the middle of the night. Kharkiv is hit frequently, so for its residents the alarm has become part of daily life.
Volunteers Support Ukraine keeps helping people affected by the war with whatever aid our resources allow.
