The head of the Kharkiv regional military administration, Oleh Syniehubov, said that medics are providing all necessary assistance to the wounded. He also informed about the temporary blocking of traffic on Klochkivska Street from Oleksiyivska Street to Peremohy Avenue and urged drivers to plan their routes taking into account the restrictions.

Emergency services continue to work on the spot, the consequences of the shelling are being clarified. The strike on civilian infrastructure on one of the city's key transport arteries has once again emphasised the risks to civilians in frontline Kharkiv.
