UAV attack on Kharkiv on November 12
Chubenko stated that Russian troops struck Kharkiv with a new type of unmanned aerial vehicle "Molniya" at about 2:00 p.m.
"This is a small UAV, which is very simple in its design and cheap to manufacture. It is made of plywood and plastic. In terms of size, it is something between a large household drone and a Shaheed," the spokesman for the prosecutor's office noted.
He added that the range of the enemy drone is about 40 kilometers. It is also capable of carrying various types of weapons, weighing up to five kilograms.
"This indicates that the Russians are not achieving the desired results on the battlefield and therefore are attacking civilian infrastructure and residential buildings. This UAV is not capable of destroying a building, but civilians and passers-by often suffer from it," Chubenko emphasized.

According to the head of the Kharkiv RMA, Oleg Synegubov, the drones hit the Saltivskyi and Slobidskyi districts of the city.
