As many of you probably already know, Russia has launched a full scale assault on Ukraine. Airstrikes and cyber attacks are being reported across the entire nation. It is not yet known whether Russia seeks to occupy the entire country, or just the territories in the east which it has already declared to be independent from Ukraine.
What is known is that Kharkiv is directly in the path of the Russian forces that were amassed on the border near Belgorod, and the city is now under attack. LiveUAMap has reported that a massive explosion shook the city about 2 hours ago (probably a Russian cruise missile or guided bomb). The blast was visible in the distance on a webcam confirmed to be streaming from Kharkiv:
Missiles, tracer rounds, and smaller explosions have also been visible. The livestreams are coming from this channel
CoachRedPill is officially in a war zone.
Edit: Don't have a sauce but on burgerland TV they're showing live footage of the Kharkiv skyline and there's smoke rising into the air
Double Edit: Found footage of the explosion and the aftermath. It seems to have been a missile strike against the Kharkiv Aerodrome.
Triple Edit: This is reported as being footage of a Russian MLRS strike hitting the outskirts of Kharkiv
Edit 4: Russian airborne forces are parachuting into Kharkiv
Edit the Fifth: A civilian examines the aftermath of a Russian Smerch rocket impact in Kharkiv
Edit Numero 6: Russian attacks hitting civilian buildings in Kharkiv have been confirmed. No news on the number of casualties.
Edit 7: Russian ground forces are entering Kharkiv
