Russian missile strike on Kharkiv police station kills one, injures 46 people

A Russian S-300 missile struck a police station in a densely populated residential area in central Kharkiv on 1 November, resulting in 46 casualties.

Kharkiv is Ukraine’s second-largest city, which lies approximately 30 kilometers from the Russian border and has endured relentless attacks that have increasingly focused on densely populated neighborhoods. These strikes often result in civilian casualties and significant property damage. However, Ukraine is not allowed to strike remote military bases from which the Russians conduct these attacks due to long-range weapons restrictions from Western partners. 

The Russian attack claimed the life of policeman Andriy Matviyenko, 40 years old, according to Oleh Syniehubov, Governor of Kharkiv Oblast.

It also caused extensive damage to 14 residential buildings and local infrastructure, including heating and water supply networks.

Emergency response teams from multiple jurisdictions, including Kharkiv and Ivano-Frankivsk State Emergency Service garrisons and the Special Rapid Response Center, conducted rescue operations at the site. According to the State Emergency Service of Kharkiv Oblast, the crews removed 200 cubic meters of debris from the impact zone.

Medical teams are currently treating several police officers who sustained critical injuries in the attack.
