05.10.2026 ⇢ The Day Russian KABs Killed Six in Kharkiv
⌨

Overnight Russian drones hit Kharkiv, killing one and wounding eight, as strikes damaged Odesa port infrastructure and hit a bus at the Moldova border crossing, wounding a guard.

By midday a second Kharkiv attack with at least three guided bombs took focus. The toll rose from two to six dead and 59 wounded, including children, with dozens of residential buildings damaged.

Coverage framed the barrage as part of a changed winter tactic, citing cheap jet-powered weapons and modified Gerans, and turned to AI turrets reported to be downing Geran-5s.

European embassies said they would remain in Kyiv despite Russian threats, as NATO planning for rapid victory and Polish talk of intercepting drones over Ukraine drew notice.

Zelensky announced new long-range strikes on Russia, Rafale training and a possible October trilateral with the US and Russia, as MP Goncharenko was expelled for urging concessions.
