"Well, it's a little burnt, in a sense, it's really f**king burnt. It's all cut up," the man says.

I drive to work from Dergach. There is a parking lot here. There are so many cars, everyone parks here. The guys said it needs to be renovated, I'm kidding.

One of the hits occurred near a gas station . At the time of the attack, there were no customers at the gas station, and the employees managed to hide, administrator Olena Pomazunova told Suspilne Kharkiv.

"We saw in the app that KABs were flying at us. They quickly released all the customers, sent everyone out of the gas station and ran to hide. We had no shelter. It was very, very loud. It was scary. Thank God, we are alive, although there are people who were injured," said Olena.

Olena Malygon, director of the Kharkiv Regional Blood Service Center, said that the facility was damaged by the explosions.

"The entire facade was damaged, meaning all three floors of windows. Almost all the windows flew out. In some rooms, even the doors flew out. All the entrance groups, where there are doors, everything is damaged. The gate was damaged, the gatehouse was damaged. Cars on the roadway burned down and many of the employees' cars were damaged. Two of our employees suffered, let's say, minor injuries, one person was sent by ambulance to the regional hospital," said Malygon.
