The Russian military launched a missile attack on Kharkov on the morning of February 10th. According to available information, the invaders hit critical infrastructure.
As the mayor of Kharkov noted, a series of rocket attacks occurred at 4 am. Note that this night was not easy, because the enemy carried out a combined attack with Caliber missiles, Shahid drones, and S-300 missiles.
May power outages
Igor Terekhov stressed that the targets of the Russian invaders were critical infrastructure facilities. According to him, city residents may experience power outages, water and heat supply.< /p>
As for the victims and destruction, the relevant information is being clarified. Igor Terekhov added that all city services, as well as the State Emergency Service, are now working on eliminating the consequences of a missile strike.
Note that, following the words of Oleg Sinegubov, head of the OVA, about 10 explosions. This is now all the information from officials.
The air raid alert in Kharkov was announced at 04:02. The end was heard at 05:05. Unfortunately, the peace did not last long. Another alarm was reported already at 05:32, and already at 06:06 there was another lights out. At the same time, we urge you not to ignore the sirens and stay in shelters until the end. This simple algorithm of actions can save your life.
Ukraine is not yet able to shoot down S-300 missiles
This is an important point that we never tire of reminding. According to the speaker of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Yuri Ignat, S-300 missiles are air defense systems. Therefore, they simply cannot be shot down by the same missiles. Unfortunately, Ukraine does not yet have others. Therefore, it simply cannot destroy hostile targets in the air.
Therefore, they need to be destroyed where they are, he stressed.
Ignaty recalled that the invaders used S-300 missiles > periodically hit in Kharkiv region, Mykolaiv region and in other front-line cities. These missiles are capable of hitting a distance of up to 150 kilometers. And the closer the complexes are to the target, the more accurate the strike can be.
Missiles of the S-300 type are just as dangerous as the same “Caliber” or others. They cause considerable destruction, and also take the lives of civilians in Ukraine. And the fact that these missiles, designed to shoot down air targets, are used for ground attacks, is another demonstration that Russia is a terrorist country.
