Russia declares it shot down 322 UAVs: Rocket attacks in Kharkiv killed dozens

Rocket strikes in Kharkiv killed dozens - The Russian Ministry of Defense announced that 322 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) belonging to Ukraine were neutralized in various areas, including Moscow. This statement reveals the escalating intensity of the war and the parties' intensive use of drones against targets.

Meanwhile, Russian forces launched severe rocket strikes on the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv. One of the rockets reportedly hit a residential building. As a result of the attack, at least 10 people lost their lives, and dozens were injured. Rescuers continue their search for individuals trapped under the rubble.

The Ukrainian side, on the other hand, announced that Russia carried out attacks with approximately 1750 UAVs, 1530 guided bombs, and 39 missiles in the last week. These figures once again emphasize the scale of the conflict and how much Ukraine has suffered from air attacks.

In this new phase of the war, both the increase in the number of UAV attacks and rocket strikes targeting civilian infrastructure further worsen the humanitarian situation in the region and increase the concern of the international community.
