The number of victims of the Russian kamikaze drone attack on Kharkiv has risen to 51, the Kharkiv regional prosecutor's office reported. Among the wounded are two children.
The attack took place on the evening of May 2. According to Ukrainian authorities, the Russian army used 17 attack drones, which hit the Osnovyansky, Slobidsky, Saltovsky and Kyivsky districts of the city. The strikes caused fires, damaged apartment buildings, private houses, educational institutions, shops, businesses and cars.
According to the prosecutor's office, the Russians used drones with thermobaric munitions, which differ from high-explosive munitions in that they have a greater explosive force.
"There were no military targets and there could not have been. Russia is striking residential areas precisely when Ukrainians are at home, when they are putting their children to bed. Only monsters can give such orders and carry them out. While the world is slow to make decisions, almost every night in Ukraine turns into horror," Volodymyr Zelensky wrote on social media.
In addition, on the morning of May 3, the State Emergency Service of Ukraine reported a fire in the village of Velykyi Burluk in the Kupyansk district. According to rescuers, as a result of the strike on the center of the village, the fire engulfed 2 thousand square meters. Two women, aged 72 and 86, were injured.
