Kyiv, Oct. 5 (LaPresse) – One person was killed and six injured following a double missile attack carried out by Russian forces using Banderol missiles in the industrial district of Kharkiv. Kharkiv Mayor Ihor Terekhov confirmed the death and casualties, reporting that an administrative building and several vehicles caught fire. At least ten multi-story residential buildings were damaged in the attack, and search and rescue operations are still underway. Banderol missiles are part of Russia’s growing use of long-range rocket-powered munitions, combining the characteristics of a cruise missile and a jet-powered drone. Their speed, maneuverability and low-altitude flight profile make the Banderol difficult for Ukrainian air defenses to intercept.
