Occupiers hit a plastic products plant in Kharkov/Channel 24 (Anna Chernenko)
The past day in Kharkiv and the region was difficult. The Russian invaders shelled many settlements, including hitting the infrastructural facilities of Kharkov.
Kharkiv Mayor Igor Terekhov spoke about this on the air of the all-Ukrainian information marathon, channel 24 reports.
According to Terekhov, there are “arrivals” where rescuers work.
The situation is tense. The invaders do not stop bombing Kharkov. The intensity of the fire today (June 20) has intensified since last night, the mayor of Kharkiv said.
At the same time, he added that there is no panic among the locals. Many have become accustomed to constant shelling. Unfortunately, this can play a cruel joke on them. In this context, Terekhov once again urged the townspeople not to forget that active hostilities in the region continue.
Consequences of enemy shelling
According to Channel 24 correspondent Anna Chernenko, one of the enemy missiles hit in a civil enterprise – the composition of finished plastic products. This is only an industrial area, where there are no military installations. Rescuers are working on the spot.
