On March 25, Russian troops carried out a series of strikes on residential areas of Kharkiv using Shahed drones. The Kholodnohirsky, Novobavarsky, and Osnovyansky districts of the city came under enemy fire.
As a result of the attacks, hits were recorded in close proximity to civilian objects, which caused fires and damage to infrastructure. Emergency services are working at the sites of the hits, eliminating the consequences of the shelling and providing assistance to affected residents.
In the Kholodnohirsky district, an enemy drone hit trees near a multi-story residential building. The blast wave and debris damaged nine cars, three of which burned to the ground. Windows were broken in many apartments. According to representatives of the regional state administration, one woman was hospitalized with injuries. A 17-year-old girl also received medical assistance, who was diagnosed with acute stress reaction after experiencing shelling.

In addition to private homes, nearby apartment buildings were also damaged. Emergency services specialists are working to localize the gas leak and restore communications. In total, four people were injured in the city during the day, including three women and one man.
“In the Kholodnohirsky district, a Russian drone hit trees near a high-rise building. “Medics hospitalized a woman who was injured in the explosion,” Oleg Synegubov reported. The night attack was accompanied by the massive use of UAVs, which Russia directed at densely populated neighborhoods. Enemy drone activity was also recorded in the Osnovyansky district.
