According to the Kharkiv Regional Prosecutor's Office, on July 4, between 10:50 p.m. and 11:30 p.m., the Russian army carried out a massive attack on the city of Chuguiv, using, according to preliminary data, 16 Geran-2 drones.
A dormitory, post office, service station, cars, and an industrial facility were damaged. Fires broke out at the sites of the strikes. Firefighters extinguished the flames.
11 people were injured, including two children: a 10-year-old boy was injured, and a 14-year-old girl was diagnosed with acute shock.
Under the procedural leadership of the Chuguiv District Prosecutor's Office of the Kharkiv region, pre-trial investigations into the facts of war crimes (Part 1 of Article 438 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine) have been initiated.
Rescuers extinguished a large-scale fire at one of the city's facilities. 93 rescuers and 29 units of State Emergency Service equipment, including pyrotechnicians, medics, and a fire engine, were involved in the elimination of the consequences.
Specialists of the Kharkiv High-Voltage District of Electric Networks and the Chuhuiv District of Electric Networks of JSC "Kharkivoblenergo" promptly restored power supply in Chuhuiv after a massive attack by the shaheeds.
As Andriy Semenov, head of the Chuguivsky REM, said, about 2,000 consumers were left without electricity due to enemy shelling of the city.
«"Two teams of our specialists immediately after receiving permission from the relevant services began restoration work. The 0.4 kV overhead line was the most damaged. The burning temperature was so high that the wires of nine runs were completely destroyed, nothing remained of them," said Andriy Semenov.
The head of the Chuhuiv city military administration, Halyna Minaeva, reported that as a result of the massive shelling in Chuhuiv, there was significant damage: 12 private houses, 35 rooms in a dormitory, three business facilities, and one educational institution.
– We pay primary attention to helping residents whose homes have been damaged. In this work, as always, we feel the support of our reliable partners and friends – the Coordination Humanitarian Center, the Peaceful Sky of Kharkiv Charity Foundation, the Kharkiv Station Humanitarian Organization, the ETOS Charity Foundation, and the Proliska Humanitarian Mission. As always, our heroic utility workers are in the forefront of helping. The work of representatives of the city commission on damaged property has been organized on site. We will not leave anyone alone with trouble! – wrote Galina Minaeva in her Telegram channel on July 5. – The day was difficult, but our community, as always, is overcoming the difficulties of war with dignity. As of 7 p.m., all enterprises that ensure the life of the city are operating normally. The insulation of the circuit in the damaged buildings has been completed - this is what experts call the sealing of windows with OSB boards during the war. First aid has been provided, but in the future, the city authorities will continue to monitor the situation with the issuance of compensation to all residents whose housing was damaged. Once again, I urge you, dear fellow countrymen, to be attentive, listen to the alarm signals and take maximum care of your own safety.
