On the afternoon of 2 October, Russian forces dropped three guided aerial bombs on Kharkiv. The strikes landed in the Slobidskyi and Nemyshlianskyi districts. Two women, aged 66 and 80, were killed and at least 33 people were injured, among them children. Volunteers Support Ukraine extends its sincere condolences to the families of the dead and to everyone touched by this attack.
Oleh Syniehubov, head of the Kharkiv regional military administration, said three guided bombs were recorded hitting the Slobidskyi and Nemyshlianskyi districts. Mayor Ihor Terekhov added that one person was killed in the Nemyshlianskyi district and that one of the bombs completely destroyed a residential building. As rescuers worked, the number of injured rose to 33.
About 20 residential buildings, office buildings, one educational institution and several cars were damaged. Guided bombs are ordinary aerial bombs fitted with guidance systems that let them glide for tens of kilometres. That is why aircraft can release them from a safe distance, outside the range of Ukrainian air defence.
Late that evening a Molniya drone hit Kharkiv's Kyivskyi district, and one person was injured. Volunteers Support Ukraine continues to help people affected by the war in whatever way its available resources allow.
