“The strikes were carried out using UMPB D-30 bombs (Unified Inter-Service Gliding Munition, 30 cm caliber) launched from Batratskaya Dacha in Russia's Belgorod Oblast,” the statement reads.
Russians have employed these modernized munitions since March 2024.
Kharkiv's proximity to the Russian border (30 km) makes it vulnerable to such attacks. Ukraine urgently needs advanced air defense systems to counter these threats from Russian aircraft operating within Russian airspace.
