- Multiple rocket launchers and generally inaccurate area weapons have caused devastation across large parts of Kharkiv
The UK ministry of defense in its intelligence report said Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second city has been one of the most consistently shelled since the start of the invasion.
“Sitting around 15 km from the Russian front line, Kharkiv has suffered because it remains within range of most types of Russian artillery,” the ministry said in the report.
Multiple rocket launchers and generally inaccurate area weapons have caused devastation across large parts of the city.
Russian forces hold the Kharkiv sector relatively lightly but continue to conduct local raids and probing attacks against Ukrainian forces, the ministry said.
“They are probably trying to force Ukraine to maintain significant forces on this front, to prevent them from being employed as a counter-attack force elsewhere,” MoD said in a tweet.
