The prosecutor’s office published a video showing the moment of the strike on the educational institution.

Quote from Chyrina : "It was an attack drone. In the video it might seem like it’s not a drone, but that’s just the angle. A UAV, if viewed from the side, is not wide but rather flat. Additionally, there are collected fragments. Early reports indicate that these are parts of a Geran-2 drone."

More details : Chyrina also confirmed that two women were injured in the attack.

Suspilne reported that the Russians had hit the premises belonging to the pharmaceutical university in Kharkiv. 

Oleksand Kukhtenko, vice rector of the university, said that the employees who were at the university at the moment of the strike went down to the shelter once an air-raid warning was issued, so no one was injured.
