Russia strikes Kharkiv with FPV drone with RPG-based warhead for first time
Last week, Russian forces used an FPV drone with an RPG-based warhead to strike the city of Kharkiv for the first time since the beginning of the full-scale invasion. Source: Kharkiv Mayor Ihor Terekhov Details: Terekhov stated that seven strikes were recorded on the city over the past week, including an attack using an FPV drone equipped with an RPG-based warhead. He said this indicates a new type of threat aimed at identifying weaknesses in the city's defences. Quote: "Kharkiv remains one of the key targets on the map of enemy terror. In total, there were seven strikes on the city last week. For the first time since the start of the full-scale invasion, the enemy used an FPV drone with an RPG-based warhead. This is a new, even more insidious threat that suggests an attempt to find weak spots in the city's defence."

Early reports indicate that there were no fatalities.
