Russian troops launched two strikes against Kharkiv using S-300 missiles late on Jan. 7, Kharkiv Oblast Governor Oleh Syniehubov reported.

Explosions were reported in the city at around 10 p.m. Syniehubov urged the residents to remain in bomb shelters.

Apart from Kharkiv, Russian troops also targeted Vovchansk in Kharkiv Oblast, according to the governor.

No casualties were reported as of 10:30 p.m. However, the air raid alert remained active in Kharkiv Oblast and the regional capital.

Some of the missiles that Russia used to strike the city of Kharkiv and the region in late December and early January were produced in a foreign country, Kharkiv Oblast Governor Oleh Syniehubov said on Jan. 5, as cited by ArmyInform.

Independent journalism needs a community —
not a paywall.

We’re working hard to show the world the truth of Russia’s brutal war — and we’re keeping it free for everyone, because reliable information should be available to all.

Our goal: reach 20,000 members to prove independent journalism can survive without paywalls, billionaires, or compromise. Will you help us do it?
