On the night of February 10, Russian troops hit several drones of Shakud in the Nemeshlyansky district of Kharkov, said the head of the regional military administration Oleg Sinegubov.

At first, the Kharkov authorities announced the hit of the drones at the gas station. However, then the head of the Investigative Department of the Kharkov Region, Sergei Bolvinov, specified that drones attacked the oil depot.

According to Sinegubov, at least 10 drones were launched according to Kharkov, eight of which were shot down. The remaining two fell into the oil depot, the fuel leak occurred, which leaked out into the street. The fire that began in the end seized several residential quarters.

As a result of the fire, seven people died: in the same house-a 66-year-old man with his 65-year-old wife, in another-a family from parents with three children. One of the boys was seven months (according to other sources - ten), two more - seven and four years.

According to Sergei Bulvinov, during the air anxiety, the family took refuge in the basement of her house. Soon the courtyard swept with fire, and when the family ran out of the basement to escape from the fire, two cars were already burning near the house. People were in the Fire trap, said Bulvinov. The body of a man was found in the corridor - he most likely lost consciousness first. The average child probably ran after him - he was found in the kitchen. Mother with the older and younger boys tried to escape in the bathroom. The bodies of the dead were very burned - Bulvinov said that for the final identification, an examination of DNA would be needed.

Three more people, according to Sinegubov, were injured-two women 39 and 65 years old and a 45-year-old man. More than 50 people evacuated from other houses where fires began.

A few hours after the police found the bodies, the regional prosecutor's office of Kharkov said that five people who died in the same house were the prosecutor of the Volchansky department of the Chuguevsky District Prosecutor's Office Olga Putyatina and her family. Putyatina was 35 years old, she worked in the prosecutor's office of the Kharkov region since June 2012, and was on maternity leave.

Last night, due to the fire, after the hit of Shakadov, a whole family died in Kharkov: parents and three children. The eldest son, Alexei, seven years, average, Mikhail, four years, the youngest - Pavel, he was seven months old. Children who have not yet had time to see life and were killed because of Russian madness, ”Zelensky wrote.
