| The Russian military conducted a high-precision strike on a large TV tower located in the eastern Ukrainian city of Kharkov on Monday, multiple videos circulating online show. | |
| The installation was used by Kiev’s military to house various equipment, including an anti-aircraft antenna, RIA Novosti reported, citing pro-Russian locals. The tower was once the tallest building in the city, measuring just over 240 meters. | |
| The tower sustained a direct hit by an unknown high-precision projectile, which took roughly a third of the structure completely off, footage shows. | |
| The top part of the tower collapsed after the strike. It was not immediately clear whether it caused any damage on the ground, given that the tower is located in a remote wooded area in the north of the Ukrainian city. | |
