Quote from Syniehubov: "This morning, the invaders attacked Izium. An enemy munition hit a house. Sadly, a 46-year-old man was killed. Nine people were injured, including a 13-year-old girl. Our medics are treating them."

Details: Russian forces bombarded Izium at around 08:15. Early reports indicate that the Russians used a Tornado-S multiple-launch rocket system.

The strike on Izium damaged at least ten houses and power lines. Efforts to deal with the aftermath of the attack are ongoing.

Russian forces also attacked a petrol station in Kharkiv with drones. The strike on the station in the Shevchenkivskyi district caused fuel dispensers to catch fire and injured two people – a 51-year-old customer and a 26-year-old petrol station attendant.

A drone strike on the premises of a non-operational petrol station in Kharkiv's Kyivskyi district destroyed a security guard's car and damaged the road surface and structures at the site. The UAV is believed to have been an Italmas.
