At least four people were injured and critical infrastructure sustained significant damage after Russia attacked Kharkiv overnight on May 30, said Mayor Ihor Terekhov.

Two were injured by shrapnel, while another suffered an acute stress reaction, he said.

"There is a fire at the impact site, a gas pipeline has been severed, and surrounding buildings have been damaged—many windows have been shattered," Terekhov said. 

"A door-to-door inspection will take place in the morning to gather more details."

The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.

Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.

For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
