Russian forces launched strikes on Kharkiv using the S-300 anti-aircraft missile system, head of the Kharkiv military garrison Serhii Melnyk reported on Telegram on July 30.
Fire erupted in non-residential building as a result of the attack, Kharkiv mayor Ihor Terekhov said.
No information on the number of casualties has been made available. Search and rescue mission was dispatched to the local scene.
The communities of Kharkiv, Bohodukhiv, Chuhuiv, and Kupiansk came under fire on July 29. Russia deployed artillery, mortar, and other armaments to shell them.
An air alert was announced throughout Ukraine early in the morning of July 31. It signaled the risk of missile attacks and preceded the strike in Kharkiv.

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?
