Consequences of the UAV attack on Kharkiv
According to Terekhov, one person was injured as a result of the strike — a man got an acute stress reaction. The dormitory, garages, power lines, and a car were damaged. Utilities are already working to eliminate the consequences.
The mayor of Kharkiv also explained that the Molniya-2 drone is a modified drone with a higher charge capacity.
"We can see on the monitors when Molniya is approaching, and, of course, we warn the people during air raids," Terekhov emphasized.
Prosecutor's Office spokesman Dmytro Chubenko also told Novyny.LIVE what the differences between the Molniya drones are.
According to him, Molniya-1 and Molniya-2 differ not in their combat part, but in their technical characteristics. The first drone has one engine, the second has two. At the same time, they have the same explosive power.
As a reminder, on January 21, Russian troops attacked the railway infrastructure in the Dnipropetrovs'k region. Two railroad workers were injured as a result of the shelling.
