A Russian attack on the town of Vovchansk in Kharkiv Oblast injured three people, Governor Oleh Syniehubov said on Oct. 6.
The shelling caused a building to catch fire, destroying three apartments.
A 76-year-old man, a 75-year-old woman, and a 25-year-old woman were hospitalized due to burns and carbon monoxide poisoning, Syniehubov said.
On Oct. 1, a 63-year-old man was killed by a Russian artillery attack while riding his bicycle in Vovchansk.
Vovchansk, located only a few kilometers from the Russian border, was liberated from Russian occupation in September 2022. Its residents come under regular attack from Russian forces.

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?
