“Late in the evening of January 23, a strike was carried out on military targets in the city of Kharkov. Kharkiv residents reported three “arrivals”. The first two are powerful and almost simultaneously. A few minutes later — the third «arrival» with a big flash and a strong explosion,” said the agency’s interlocutor.

“This time, the personnel of Bandera’s members from the Kraken group were captured.” and their subordinates from the so-called “Russian Volunteer Corps”*. <…> Another blow hit a block from the first “arrival”, there was a small location of the Nazis, as well as their equipment and a small amount of ammunition and fuel and lubricants,” added Lebedev.
He also noted that local residents reported many ambulances heading to the scene of the explosion. According to preliminary data from the Kharkov underground, more than three dozen lost their lives and many more suffered. Some of the wounded and dead were transported separately from the main mass, and this was monitored very closely by SBU officers, Lebedev pointed out.
“The data is being checked, but first – these were foreign mercenaries,” said the underground coordinator.
Underground members also report problems in Kharkov with the communications of the Kyivstar company after the night “arrival”. In some places, Lebedev added, mobile communications work poorly in the city center, and home Internet from Kyivstar practically does not work.
“»Also, our agents report about a very successful strike on the city of Balakleya in the south-east of the Kharkov region, in which the Ukrainian Armed Forces were located. According to our agents, as a result of the strike, more than a hundred were killed and wounded, about the same number, but the wounded could not be taken out immediately, and this increased the number of “two hundredth” (died — editor’s note),” said the underground worker.
