Russian forces struck an educational facility in Kharkiv's Slobidskyi district with a drone on Tuesday morning, hitting the roof of the building and injuring several people, according to Kharkiv Mayor Ihor Terekhov and emergency services.
The State Emergency Service of Ukraine reported that "Russian forces struck an educational facility in the Slobidskyi district of the city with a UAV in the morning. About 2 women were injured. As a result of the hit, the roof of the facility building was damaged, and a fire broke out over an area of 150 square meters."
Mayor Terekhov reported 4 people injured in the attack. The prosecutor's office released video footage capturing the moment of impact on the educational facility.
"It was a strike drone. In the video it might seem like it's not a drone, but that's just the angle. A UAV, if you look at it from the side, is not wide but rather flat. Plus there are collected fragments. According to preliminary data, these are parts of a 'Geran-2' type drone," said Valeriia Chirina, spokesperson for the Kharkiv Regional Prosecutor's Office, in comments to Ukrainska Pravda.
According to Suspilne media, the Russians struck the administrative building of the Pharmaceutical University. Vice-rector for scientific and pedagogical work Oleksandra Kukhtenko said that employees who were inside the building went down to shelter during the air raid alert, so they were not wounded.
