A TV tower in Kharkov broke into two parts after a strike by the Russian Armed Forces
On the afternoon of Monday, April 22, the Russian Armed Forces attacked a television tower in Kharkov on Derevyanko Street.
According to the coordinator of the Nikolaev underground, Sergei Lebedev, a third of the structure was “cut off” as a result of the impact. He claims that there was a Ukrainian air defense communications antenna on the TV tower.
Kharkov residents filmed a TV tower “folded” in half
Footage of the consequences of the attack on the TV tower in Kharkov began to spread on social networks. On the video, a column of smoke first rises from the structure, after which its long upper part comes off and falls down.
Hit confirmed Head of the Kharkov Regional Military Administration (OVA) Oleg Sinegubov. According to him, no one was injured as a result. Sinegubov also warned local residents about interruptions in the digital television signal.
The TV tower, according to the regional prosecutor's office, was destroyed X-59 aircraft missile. The publication Strana.ua published footage of the consequences. On them, large remains of the structure lie in the green zone.
Previously, Kharkov lost all its own energy generation
At the end of March, as a result of a massive Russian attack on the city’s energy system, the region lost its own energy generation. According to Sinegubov, now there are not only planned power outages, but also emergency ones. The networks can't handle the load.
“Urban electric transport is feeling the limitations. Emergency or planned shutdowns affect the frequency of movement, for example, of the metro and other urban electric transport,” explained the head of the Kharkov OVA.
The deficit remains for about 250 thousand subscribers. Blackouts occur both in Kharkov and in other settlements connected to city networks.

As the commander of the artillery unit noted, the key target of Russian strikes near Kharkov is the temporary deployment point of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, artillery, counter-battery warfare, and warehouses. According to him, the Russian army is working behind the rear of the Ukrainian army in the region. He explained that in the rear areas, the Ukrainian military behaves freely and does not use marking means, which makes their positions vulnerable.
