On the night of Tuesday, January 13th, Russian troops again launched air and missile strikes on Ukrainian territory. The night sky was once again filled with "air hazard" signals, the sound of explosions, and drone drone humming.
Kharkiv: casualties and wounded
One of the most critical points was the situation in Kharkiv Oblast. According to the head of the regional military administration, Oleg Sinegubov, two people were killed in the attack on the territory around Kharkiv. Also, two men were injured and hospitalized.
This is not new for Kharkiv, located near the front, but every night is another "test": some will get home, some won't...
Shahed in the city center: a hit to a children's sanatorium
Kharkiv Mayor Igor Terekhov reported that a Shahed-type drone hit one of the buildings in the city center. According to him, a drone crashed into a children's sanatorium in the Shevchenko district, and a fire broke out at the scene. So far, there has been no official information about whether there were any casualties in this attack.
The mere mention of a children's institution "warms up" one's nerves: the front is the front, but touching where there are children is especially difficult.
Kyiv: explosions, air defense systems working, dangerous warnings
There was no peace in the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv. City Mayor Vitaly Klitschko reported that the explosion and air defense system is working. The head of the military administration of the Kyiv region, Timur Tkachenko, warned the population that Russia is attacking the capital with ballistic missiles.
In the night situation, official sources were unable to immediately disclose the exact consequences of the missile strike. However, according to local reports, serious power outages and water problems were observed in the Irpen, Bucha, and Gostomel areas around Kyiv. It is reported that in some districts of the capital, the lights are "turning on and off."
Pressure on energy: initial news about thermal power plants
Ukrainian Air Force reports emphasize that Russian attacks are widely targeting the south, east, and center of the country. According to preliminary information, there were reports that two large thermal power plants were subjected to a ballistic impact - the Tripil TPP in the Kyiv region and the Kryvyi Rih TPP in the Dnipropetrovsk region.
Strikes on energy facilities directly affect the lives of ordinary people in the middle of winter: heating, electricity, water - all in one chain.
Conclusion
These night attacks have shown one more thing: the danger in Ukrainian cities is not only at the front line, but also in the "back" zone. The most important issue now is providing emergency assistance to the victims, extinguishing fires, and restoring communications.
Yes, this news is difficult. But one thing is clear about Ukrainians: they know how to "start over" every morning. Exploding at night, restoring during the day - this is reality.
