The Russian occupiers are using guided aerial bombs, multiple rocket launchers and drones against civilians, killing two people and injuring five, including a 16-year-old boy, said the head of the Kharkiv Regional Military Administration, Oleh Syniehubov. According to him, the shelling damaged 87 private and 27 apartment buildings.
