On the night of November 3, 2026, Kharkiv was subjected to a combined attack during which, according to Mayor Ihor Terekhov, one of the Russian missiles hit a medical facility in the city's Nemyshlyansky district. According to RBC-Ukraine, citing the mayor, as of morning, no data had been received regarding casualties or the extent of the damage. Which specific healthcare facility was damaged was not specified at the time of publication either.

### Strike on a medical facility

According to RBC-Ukraine, citing Ihor Terekhov, one of the impacts during the nighttime attack hit a medical institution in the Nemyshlyansky district of Kharkiv. The specific establishment that suffered damage was not named at the time of material preparation. The city administration did not publish information about casualties, the condition of the building, or the consequences for patients and staff, so the full picture of the incident remains incomplete.

### Combined attack and geography of strikes

According to the mayor, the city was attacked with ballistic missiles and guided aerial bombs on the night of November 3. The strike on Kharkiv was part of a larger-scale nighttime operation: on the same night, according to the report, ballistic missiles were launched across Ukraine, including toward Dnipropetrovsk and Vinnytsia oblasts. The Air Force recorded missiles moving toward Kryvyi Rih, Zelenodolsk, Ladyzhyn, and Haisyn.

### Preliminary warning and the US election factor

Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned about the threat of such a strike on the evening of November 2. According to Ukrainian intelligence cited in the report, Russia was preparing a new massive shelling aimed primarily at energy and logistics facilities. The President of Ukraine stated that, in his assessment, Moscow was counting on the US elections to distract the attention of global media and politicians. "And the events in Ukraine, our difficulties with air defense missiles, will be left without the world's attention," Zelenskyy said.

### Context: Moscow's position

Earlier, according to information available in the report, Vladimir Putin demanded that the army continue massive strikes on Ukrainian objects. Kyiv, in turn, received data regarding the Kremlin's plans to intensify strikes on Ukrainian territory. Against this background, the combined nighttime attack of November 2–3, including the hit on a medical facility in Kharkiv, fits into a series of similar operations that the Ukrainian side had warned about beforehand.
