KHARKIV, Oct 9 (The Real Republic) – Russian attacks on Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city, have resulted in the deaths of at least two people and injuries to more than 30 others, including a teenager.
On Tuesday afternoon, Russian forces dropped approximately four guided bombs on Kharkiv, located about 30 kilometers (18 miles) from the Russian border, according to Governor Oleh Syniehubov. One bombing attack killed a man and a woman walking on the street, while at least three others were injured.
An earlier attack in the city injured 28 people, including a 16-year-old. Authorities are currently working to verify the type of weapon used in that incident. Syniehubov and Kharkiv Mayor Ihor Terekhov confirmed that a civilian production facility was hit, resulting in a fire.

Kharkiv has frequently been targeted by Russian attacks since the onset of Moscow’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Last week, a Russian-guided bomb struck a five-story apartment block, injuring 10 people.
In September, several attacks on the city resulted in casualties, including the deaths of three people when a guided bomb hit an apartment building. Additionally, dozens were injured when a missile struck a shopping mall and sports center earlier that month.
