**The largest drone strike to date leaves Kharkiv reeling as emergency efforts commence.**
In a shocking turn of events, Kharkiv, Ukraine's second-largest city, has been the site of the most intense drone strike since the outbreak of conflict. At least two lives have been lost, and an additional 17 individuals have sustained injuries, according to Mayor Ihor Terekhov. In the dead of night, Russian forces unleashed a staggering 48 drones, accompanied by two missiles and four gliding bombs, wreaking havoc on the city’s skyline.
Mayor Terekhov expressed the depth of destruction, stating, "We have a lot of damage," with reports confirming that three high-rise residential buildings were struck. Eyewitness footage reveals multiple stories of a building ablaze, underlining the severity of the attack. The previous day, Russia initiated a broader offensive that claimed six lives and resulted in 80 injuries throughout Ukraine, involving over 400 drones and nearly 40 missiles.
Prior to this attack, Ukraine had executed a series of audacious drone strikes known as Operation Spider Web, targeting Russian strategic warplanes located at four deep-seated air bases. The Ukrainian security service, SBU, disclosed that approximately 40 Russian aircraft were damaged or destroyed during this offensive.
Intriguingly, Ukraine reported that 117 drones were stealthily smuggled into Russian territory, cleverly concealed within wooden cabins on the backs of trucks, and launched without the knowledge of the drivers transporting them.
Founded on a far-reaching conflict that escalated with Russia's full-scale invasion in February 2022, the situation remains fluid as both nations continue to engage in intense military operations, with the civilian population caught in the crossfire.
