Syniehubov did not have complete information on the number of people injured in the attack. As Russia has intensified its strikes in the spring, the Kharkiv region has increasingly taken the brunt of the attacks.

Ukraine's air defence shortages and the eastern region's proximity to the Russian border left it especially vulnerable to strikes on energy infrastructure, which have caused large-scale power cuts.
