"A fourth body was retrieved from under the rubble of the building in the Kholodnohirskyi district," Terekhov wrote on social media. He also reported a new enemy strike on transport infrastructure in the Osnovianskyi district the same day.

Continued Strikes on October 13

By 11:41 local time, another enemy drone hit the Kholodnohirskyi district again. Russia had been bombarding Kharkiv throughout October 12 from early morning until late at night: in the morning, floors of one apartment block were destroyed; in the evening, an entire building entrance section of another was demolished.

Ongoing Russian Terror

Kharkiv, Ukraine's second-largest city, has faced persistent Russian attacks targeting residential areas throughout the war. The systematic targeting of apartment buildings is documented as a pattern aimed at terrorizing the civilian population.
