Details: Terekhov reported that the Russians had launched an attack with eight Shahed drones on one of the depots where city trolleybuses were being repaired and serviced.

Quote: "Most of the transport was dispersed across the city in advance – this is what saved us from much greater losses. But the vehicles under repair were hit: one trolleybus was completely destroyed and another 18 suffered varying degrees of damage."

Details: Two employees who were on duty during the attack were injured.

"The target today is the civilian population, this is civilian infrastructure of the city of Kharkiv, no military personnel have ever been here, there has never been a military facility here," Terekhov emphasised.

In addition, the blast wave and debris damaged 33 residential buildings located nearby, mostly shattering windows.
