Moreover, for the second night in a row, Russian drones are attacking Kharkiv. Today in the evening, an enemy drone targeted a gas station in one of the city districts, reported Kharkiv mayor Igor Terekhov according to the publication 'Glavcom'.

Almost at midnight on April 30, drones also attacked Kharkiv. The incident occurred at the border of Kyiv and Saltiv districts, Terekhov reported.

Analysis:

With the beginning of May, Russian troops continue to escalate attacks on Ukrainian cities. This Time, the targets were Odesa and Kharkiv. In Odesa, UAVs caused significant destruction to residential buildings and infrastructure, leading to fatalities and injuries. Fires also occurred. Kharkiv has also become a target for drone attacks, one of which hit a gas station, thereby endangering the lives of citizens. This indicates that Russia continues to violate international law and threatens peaceful cities of Ukraine. The Ukrainian government should immediately appeal to the international community to impose sanctions on Russia and take additional measures to protect the population and territorial integrity of the country.
