In Kharkiv, a Russian 'Molniya' FPV drone struck a 12-story residential building, but no injuries were reported, according to Mayor Ihor Terekhov.

Additionally, nine people were wounded in the Synelnykove district. In the Kryvyi Rih area, shelling damaged a private home and an outbuilding.
In Kirovohrad, a strike on an infrastructure facility sparked a fire, though no deaths or injuries occurred. In Sumy, a 58-year-old woman was hospitalized, and at least five residential houses sustained damage. In the Izmail district of Odesa, a private home and an external structure caught fire, but no casualties were reported.
Russian Aerial Bombardments
On June 20, Russian aircraft launched guided aerial bombs (KABs) at a residential neighborhood in Kharkiv and the outskirts of Sumy. In Poltava, three children were wounded in the attacks, and a kindergarten in Mykolaiv was damaged.
“Six city residents have already sought medical help,” stated Oleh Hryhorov.Emergency crews quickly extinguished the fires, as reported by the State Emergency Service of Ukraine and rescuer Oleh Kiper.
The situation in Ukraine remains tense, with ongoing threats and consequences from these attacks.
These events underscore the continuation of Russian aggression, which has severe humanitarian and infrastructural impacts on Ukrainian communities. Strikes on civilian targets, including residential areas and social facilities, highlight the escalating conflict and increased danger for the civilian population. In light of this, international response and support for Ukraine in its fight for security and territorial integrity remain crucial.
