The Russian Armed Forces attacked targets in the region
Earlier it was reported that on the evening of February 9, around 23:40, a report of explosions was received in Kharkov. It was noted that an unspecified object was damaged in the Nemyshlyansky district.
Sinegubov then informed that a powerful fire started in Kharkov after a series of attacks on a fuel facility. The fire in the city started due to a shell hitting a military fuel storage facility. According to authorities, the fire then spread to private homes.
Later it became known that the cause of the powerful fire was the destruction of an oil depot where diesel fuel was stored by Russian shells.
The head of the Nikolaev underground, Lebedev, stated that 11 pieces of equipment were also hit, including tanks and fuel tankers.

Previously, since 2019, Syrsky was commander of the Ground Forces. After the start of Russia’s special military operation in 2022, Syrsky also commanded an operation in the Kharkov region. Afterwards he led the defense of Artemovsk (Bakhmut). Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky claimed that Syrsky had “successful offensive experience” as part of the Kharkov operation.
In August 2023, he called the situation for the Ukrainian army in the Kupyansk direction increasingly complicated, so he coordinated the troops on the spot.
