On the night of June 1, Kharkiv was attacked by enemy unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). According to city mayor Ihor Terekhov and head of the Kharkiv Regional Military Administration Oleh Syniehubov, about ten strikes were recorded in the vicinity of the Slobidskyi district. There is also information about hits in the Osnovianskyi district.

### Strikes on Slobidskyi District

Multiple explosions were recorded in the area bordering the ring road. According to Ihor Terekhov, at the time the information was received, enemy drones were still flying towards the city. Air defense forces and emergency services were put on high alert.

### Fire and Casualty in Osnovianskyi District

In the Osnovianskyi district, a UAV strike caused a fire. The flames engulfed garages and cars in a garage cooperative located in close proximity to multi-story residential buildings. As a result of the incident, a 34-year-old woman was injured. Medical personnel are providing her with necessary assistance at the scene.

### Emergency Services at Work

Rescuers, firefighters, and medical personnel are working at the sites of the strikes. As seen in photos from the scene, employees of the DSNS (Department of Civil Protection and Emergency Situations) in full gear are assessing the situation and coordinating actions to eliminate the consequences of the attack. Emergency services continue to work until the threat is fully eliminated.

### Previous Attacks and Strengthening of Defense

This is not the only attack on the Kharkiv region in recent times. Two days ago, Russian drones attacked a brigade of energy workers in the region, injuring two employees.

Despite regular shelling, the Defense Forces continue to strengthen positions on the Kharkiv front. The "Kharkiv" Corps, together with other units, is building a deeply echeloned defense: digging trenches, anti-tank ditches, and creating additional fortifications to protect the population and infrastructure.
