"20 people were injured and suffered acute stress reactions. Among them were 6 men, 11 women and three children – two girls aged 12 and 8, and a 12-year-old boy," stated Kharkov Regional Prosecutor's Office on their official Facebook page.
Kharkov authorities claimed at least 20 residential and non-residential buildings, entrances to metro stations, garages, and cars were damaged following the alleged Russian forces' attack with UMPB D-30 bombs.
At the time of publication, the Russian side had not commented on the strike or reports of casualties. It was previously strongly denied, targeting civilians or civilian infrastructure.
On May 10, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky declared that they would add more forces to Kharkov's directions against a backdrop of reported advancements by Russian forces.
Moscow launched a military offensive in Ukraine in late February 2022 after recognising the independence of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics (DPR and LPR), claiming that Kiev had failed to guarantee their special status under the 2014 Minsk Agreements, and urging Ukraine to declare itself officially neutral and give assurances that it would never join NATO.
Kiev denounced the Russian action as an invasion. The Ukrainian leader imposed martial law throughout the country, announcing a general mobilisation, while the EU and the US imposed several rounds of sanctions on Moscow.
