Thousands evacuated
Kharkiv region under fire “around the clock”
Russian troops have advanced in the Kharkiv region. "The enemy is currently recording tactical successes", the Ukrainian General Staff announced on Monday night. On Sunday, President Volodymyr Zelensky spoke of "fierce fighting" in the region.
The aim of the Russian attacks was to "pull our forces apart and undermine morale." The Ukrainian governor of the region announced that the border areas were under fire "almost around the clock". According to him, more than 4,000 people have already been evacuated from the area (see video above). On Friday, the Russian army launched a ground offensive using armored vehicles.
15 dead, 20 injured
The Ukrainian military is to attack the Russian border region of Belgorod again. The Russian air defense announced on Monday that it had destroyed missiles and drones that had been fired at Russian territory during the night. Attacks on the annexed Black Sea peninsula of Crimea and the Russian border region of Kurs are also reported to have taken place.
On Sunday, the Russian border region of Belgorod was hit with Soviet-era missiles. At least 15 people were killed and 20 others were injured. One child is still missing. According to Russian sources, it was a Ukrainian attack. Debris from one of the Tochka-U missiles that was intercepted damaged a residential building in the city of Belgorod.
Pictures show that at least ten floors of the building have collapsed. While rescue workers searched for survivors in the rubble, the roof collapsed. Both the Ukrainian and Russian armies claim that they are not targeting civilians. No statement was initially available from the Ukrainian side.
