Four killed as Russian plane drops bombs on military community in Kharkiv

"A Russian enemy plane dropped heavy aerial bombs on a military community of the 5th Slobozhansk Brigade on the night of March 5, 2022. Four servicemen were killed. There are wounded," the Eastern Operational-Territorial Unit of the National Guard of Ukraine posted on Facebook.

It is noted that the brigade's fighters are clearing the debris. Despite the losses and serious damage to infrastructure, the National Guard members are steadfastly defending Kharkiv together with the Armed Forces, the Territorial Defense, the National Police, and the Security Service of Ukraine.

On February 24, Russian president Vladimir Putin declared war on Ukraine and launched a large-scale invasion. Russian troops are shelling and destroying infrastructure, conducting massive shelling of residential areas of Ukrainian cities and towns using artillery, multiple launch rocket systems, and ballistic missiles. Martial law was imposed in the country and general mobilization was announced. Ukraine filed a lawsuit against the Russian Federation at the UN International Court of Justice in The Hague.
