Russian attack on Kharkiv with KABs hit one of city’s busiest highways

Russian forces targeted the city with guided aerial bombs (KABs), Kharkiv Mayor Ihor Terekhov reports.

One of the bombs struck road infrastructure at an intersection between two districts, damaging civilian facilities, including two gas stations, a hotel, and a hypermarket.

“Russia has struck one of the city’s busiest highways,” Terekhov said. The strike damaged the road surface, trolleybus contact lines, and street lighting network.

No casualties have been reported.

According to The Telegraph, Russian forces are actively deploying new 600-kilogram Grom-E1 KABs with a range of up to 120 kilometers. The rocket engines provide this extended range, allowing Russian Su-30 and Su-34 fighters to launch strikes from beyond the reach of most Ukrainian air defense systems.

The Grom-E1 bombs have previously been used against Myrnohrad, Kherson, and Kharkiv, though mass production has not yet been established, according to the report.

Ukraine’s military reported that the Russian army launched 51 drones in Ukraine. Ukraine’s air defense has shot down 32 drones in 11 oblasts. Another 18 drones have been lost, the Air Force reported.
