Children Injured as Russian Air Assault Hits Ukrainian Town
5 Aug
Summary
- Largest attack on Lozova since war began
- Several people, including two children, wounded
- Critical infrastructure, homes, and apartments damaged
A devastating Russian air assault has struck the Ukrainian town of Lozova, leaving several people injured, including two children. The attack, which occurred on August 5, 2025, is reported to be the largest on the town since the start of the war in 2022.
According to Serhiy Zelenskiy, the head of the Lozova city council, the air strike has caused significant damage to critical infrastructure, apartment buildings, and private homes. Several people, including the two children, were wounded in the assault.
The Kharkiv region, where Lozova is located, has been a frequent target of Russian drone and missile attacks since the beginning of the conflict. The town, which had a pre-war population of around 55,000, has now been left without power and water supply due to the latest strike.
Despite the ongoing hostilities, Zelenskiy has vowed that the people of Lozova will persevere. The attack serves as a stark reminder of the continued toll the war is taking on the civilian population in Ukraine.
