Russian military forces struck the Kharkiv Oblast with a Kh-59 air-to-surface missile and Uragan systems, causing damage and injuring a police officer, according to preliminary reports from the regional prosecutor's office.

Law enforcement authorities have launched pre-trial investigations into violations of the laws and customs of war, with a maximum penalty of up to twelve years in prison.

The Russian Armed Forces struck the village of Mokra Rokytna in the Kharkiv Oblast with a missile at around 4:30 pm, damaging property belonging to an agricultural enterprise, including solar panels, according to the investigation.
