According to regional governor Oleh Synehubov, who wrote on the Telegram messaging app, drones had damaged civilian infrastructure in the city’s Nemyshlianskyi district. Reporters from Suspilne public television observed the glow of a fire over the city.
Synehubov also mentioned that a cafe had been hit in Velykyi Burluk, a town east of Kharkiv.
