Russian troops fired on the eastern Ukrainian city of Kharkov on Tuesday evening. According to the mayor, several rocket launchers were used and, according to preliminary information, there were no casualties. Walls were smashed and windows smashed by impacts next to a residential building.
“The night is before us, the usual time for attacks on Kharkov. Be careful,” mayor Ihor Terekhov warned the residents of Kharkov. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy also called for caution on Tuesday evening, particularly affecting people in already occupied territories. “Please do not go near the military installations of the Russian army and all those places where they store ammunition and equipment (…)”, Zelenskyy said.
According to estimates by Ukraine’s Supreme Commander, Valery Zalushny, the Russian military fires 40,000 to 60,000 rounds of ammunition every day at Ukrainian army positions. The situation is currently most difficult around Donetsk, where Ukrainian positions at Avdiivka, Pisky and Marjinka are under heavy attack. There was no independent confirmation of this information.
Holidaymakers leave Crimea
On the Crimean peninsula, after heavy explosions in Russian military installations, queues are now standing at the bridge to the Russian mainland. Many Russian holidaymakers have been leaving the peninsula for days. On Monday, the RIA Novosti news agency reported a record 38,000 vehicles, but in both directions. Also at the train station in the capital Simferopol, many tourists tried to get a train ticket. Russia annexed Crimea in 2014.
