Driver killed in drone strike

Around 12:00, Russian forces struck a civilian car with an FPV drone on a road near the turn-off to the village of Pytomnyk in the Kharkiv district. The 50-year-old driver died at the scene. A 73-year-old woman who was also in the vehicle was not injured.

Four hurt, including two children, in rocket attack

A separate strike on the village of Lebiazhe in the Chuhuiv district injured four people: a 56-year-old man, a 33-year-old woman, and two boys aged five and 12. Medics diagnosed all four with shock. The attack reportedly involved a multiple-launch rocket system and partially destroyed a two-storey apartment building.

The blast also damaged roughly 15 cars parked nearby, along with shattered windows and damaged doors in surrounding buildings.
