The city remains within range of most types of russian artillery
What happened? The occupiers shell Kharkiv every day in order to force Ukraine to maintain significant forces on this front, and to prevent their counteroffensive in other directions.
Source. The intelligence of the Ministry of Defence of Great Britain.
Details. Although the front line in this sector has moved little since May, Ukraine’s second city has been one of the most consistently shelled since the beginning of the invasion. Then the russian forces probably aimed to reach the outskirts within 24 hours.
Sitting around 15 km from the russian front line, Kharkiv remains within range of most types of russian artillery. It is noted that multiple rocket launchers and inaccurate area weapons have caused devastation across large parts of the city.
British intelligence officers recall that as a result of russian strikes on residential areas of Kharkiv on August 17, at least 12 civilians died.
