Russian Attacks in Ukraine Target Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia and Odesa

HeadlineJul 08, 2025

Russian drones struck military recruitment centers in Ukraine Monday, killing one person and wounding over 70 others in Kharkiv. Elsewhere, one person was killed by a Russian strike in Odesa, while in Zaporizhzhia at least 20 people were injured when Russian drones struck a military draft center. Nearby residents said their homes were destroyed or damaged by Russia’s assault.

Dmytro Sokolovskyi: “There’s a draft center office over there, and there is a private residential area here. I want to tell those idiots who are glad that draft offices are being attacked to come and see for themselves. They can tell the people who have lost their homes, or whose houses are now without doors and windows, how happy they are.”
