Ukraine's Ocheretyne Village: A Desolate Scene of Destruction Amidst Ongoing Fighting; Russian Advance in Kharkiv Targets Energy Infrastructure and Civilians
The Ukrainian village of Ocheretyne, with a population of about 3,000 before the war, has been under attack by Russian forces in the Donetsk region of eastern Ukraine.
Russian troops have been advancing in the area, using artillery, drones, and bombs against Ukraine's depleted and ammunition-deprived forces.
The Ukrainian military has acknowledged that the Russians have gained a "foothold" in Ocheretyne, but fighting continues.
Residents, including a 98-year-old woman, have been forced to flee the village.
The text describes the aftermath of fighting in Ocheretyne, a town in Ukraine, where no people are visible in the footage and most buildings have been severely damaged or destroyed.
The damage includes houses, apartment blocks, and a factory.
Smoke is billowing from several houses and fires are burning in at least two buildings.
In recent weeks, Russia has intensified attacks on Kharkiv, Ukraine's second-largest city, targeting its energy infrastructure and terrorizing its residents.
Two people were wounded and a civilian building was damaged and set on fire by Russian forces using exploding drones.
On Saturday, a 13-year-old and three others were injured by falling debris in Kharkiv, Ukraine, according to local official Syniehubov.
He also reported that Russia bombed residential areas in Kharkiv on Friday, resulting in the death of an 82-year-old woman and injuries to two men.
Russian state agency RIA reported that Moscow's forces had struck a drone warehouse in Kharkiv, as per a local pro-Moscow coordinator named Sergei Lebedev.
However, Lebedev's comments could not be independently verified.
Ukraine's military claimed that Russia launched 13 Shahed drones at the Kharkiv and Dnipropetrovsk regions overnight, all of which were shot down by Ukrainian air defenses.
