Escalation in Fighting in Ukraine: Strikes in Balakliia and Attacks on Russian Infrastructure
Over the past 24 hours, a significant escalation in fighting has been recorded in the Kharkiv region. According to the Харьков life | Харків 🇺🇦 channel, the city of Balakliia experienced a severe airstrike that hit residential areas and civilian infrastructure. Official sources report six wounded, including two children, who were evacuated for medical treatment. The Ukrainian Air Force confirmed that the attack involved the launch of guided aerial bombs by Russian tactical aviation.
At the same time, offensive operations by Ukrainian forces against the Russian rear continue. Local media outlets, including Фокус (which maintains a clear pro-Ukrainian stance), reported a drone strike against an oil storage facility in Stanytsia Poltavska in the Kuban region. Meanwhile, UA Stream notes that the Kremlin is concerned about Ukrainian successes in disrupting military logistics, with an emphasis on continuous strikes against bridges in the Chongar and Henichesk areas of the Crimean Peninsula.
In the Dnipro region, the ДНІПРО_ТРИВОГИ channel updated on a temporary lull in certain areas, although an alert remains due to threats from unmanned aerial vehicles in the Synelnykove district.
In the international arena, it was reported by UA Stream (based on AP agency reports) that a B-52 bomber crashed at a military base in the United States, an incident that led to the deaths of eight crew members, with the cause of the accident yet to be determined.
