Russian forces damaged a house in the town of Kupyansk, near the frontlines of the eastern front of Russia’s ongoing full-scale invasion, Kharkiv Oblast Governor Oleh Synehubov reported on Telegram on Feb.21.

A 68-year-old man was injured in the attack and taken to hospital in moderate condition, the governor wrote.

"(The enemy) is exclusively targeting the residential neighborhood,” Synehubov stated.

“Several houses were damaged.”

Russia had earlier launched a strike on Kupyansk on the evening of Feb. 20, hitting a kindergarten and a sports facility.

On Feb. 6, Synehubov reported that the enemy was concentrating vehicles in the direction of Kupyansk.

Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov claimed before that Russia may launch a new offensive campaign in February, though Ukrainian military intelligence has noted that no combat units capable of such a broad assault have been observed at the moment.
