Russia has launched a targeted attack on the 240m tall Soviet-era TV tower in Kharkiv, Ukraine, using a Kh-59 missile. This strike disrupted digital signals as part of a broader intimidation and information warfare campaign. The attack resulted in significant damage to the TV infrastructure, although no casualties were reported. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has condemned the attack as an attempt to limit communication and spread fear among the populace. The attack is consistent with previous tactics seen in 2022, where similar infrastructure was targeted.
