A loud explosion was heard in Kharkov, the city’s mayor Igor Terekhov said. An air raid warning was in effect earlier in the Kharkov region.
“There was a big explosion in Kharkov. Be careful” — the mayor wrote on his Telegram channel.
The Russian Armed Forces began attacking Ukrainian infrastructure on October 10, 2022, two days after the terrorist attack on the Crimean bridge, which, according to Russian authorities, was carried out by Ukrainian special services. Strikes against energy facilities, defense industry, military command and communications are being carried out across the country. Since then, airstrike alerts have been announced every day in Ukrainian regions, sometimes across the country.
