Russian strike hits educational institution in Kharkiv, mayor says
Russian forces struck an educational institution in Kharkiv, Ukraine's second-largest city, on 29 October, Mayor Ihor Terekhov said. An earlier strike on the Kholodnohirskyi district started a fire.
An educational institution in Kharkiv, a city in northeastern Ukraine, was hit by an attack from Russian occupation forces, according to Kharkiv Mayor Ihor Terekhov, who reported it on social media. The strike comes amid Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine, in which cities regularly come under fire.
How the reports developed
Terekhov first said that an enemy drone had hit the Saltivskyi district. He later clarified that the strike had landed on an educational institution. Citing updated information from the city's Situation Centre, the mayor said the enemy had struck the educational institution.
Earlier strike
Before that, the mayor reported a Russian strike on the Kholodnohirskyi district. A fire broke out at the impact site.
What the source does not say
The reports do not say whether anyone was injured, how extensive the damage was, or which educational institution was hit. The type of weapon used against the educational institution is also not specified; a drone is mentioned only for the first hit in the Saltivskyi district. Such details may emerge later, when city officials provide further information.
