Multiple Strikes Damage Kharkiv Infrastructure on Jan. 17

The mayor warns citywide energy supply is at its limits during peak winter demand.

Overview

  • In the evening, a Russian Molniya strike drone hit a non-residential building in Kharkiv’s Slobidskyi district with no casualties, the mayor reported.
  • Later, the mayor said another impact in Slobidskyi struck a critical infrastructure facility.
  • Earlier the same day, a strike in the Industrialnyi district severely damaged a critical infrastructure site, according to city authorities.
  • Ihor Terekhov said maintaining stable heat and power grows harder after each attack because reserves are finite and loads are at their peak.
  • The attacks fit a regular pattern using drones, missiles, guided bombs and MLRS, which Moscow denies are aimed at civilian infrastructure and which Ukrainian and international bodies call war crimes.
