Details: Syniehubov said firefighters are putting out a fire caused by the Russian drone strike on a cultural institution in Kharkiv's Kyivskyi district. He also said there had been a drone strike on the Kholodnohirsky district, but there were no reports of casualties there.
Kharkiv City Council, citing Terekhov, said that Russian forces had struck the Kharkiv Art Museum with a drone.
The mayor said no one was injured in the strike, but several people had sought medical treatment for shock. Meanwhile, personnel from the Department of Emergency Situations, working with rescue workers, moved paintings from the museum to shelter to protect the exhibits.
"These are valuables that we must preserve. There is a risk that some exhibits could burn or simply become waterlogged during firefighting. So they had to be evacuated," the mayor stated.Update: Terekhov later reported that five people had been injured in the Russian attack on the Kyivskyi district.
