Kharkiv Attacked by Seven Russian Shahed Drones on June 24

On the night of June 24, Kharkiv was attacked by Russia, involving the use of seven “Shahed” type drones. This was reported by Kharkiv’s mayor, Ihor Terekhov.

According to information provided by the city leader, one of the drones did not explode and fell, while the other drones hit three different locations. Two of these sites are in the private sector of the Nemyshlyanskyi district, and the third is on the premises of a civilian enterprise in the Saltivskyi district.

The mayor also urged residents to follow news from Kharkiv and the region through popular social networks and messengers to receive up-to-date information in real time.

Russian forces launched a drone attack on Kharkiv overnight on June 24, injuring three people and damaging civilian infrastructure, Mayor Ihor Terekhov said. The first explosions were reported around 2:00 a.m. local time, with three civilian injuries confirmed by 4:00 a.m., according to local officials.

Seven Iranian-made Shahed drones were launched at the city, three of which struck their targets, Terekhov said. The strikes damaged a civilian enterprise in the Saltivka district and residential buildings in Nemyshlianskyi. Emergency services responded to the affected sites. In recent weeks, Moscow has been intensifying attacks against Kharkiv – Ukraine’s second-largest city – which sits just over 20 kilometers (15 miles) from the Russian border.
