Strike on Kharkiv TV tower — what is known
On April 22, during another attack on Kharkiv, the Russian occupation army hit the TV tower with a missile, destroying its structure.
Representative of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Ilya Yevlash, expressed the belief that this hit was not accidental, as the enemy targeted the middle of the structure. He noted that the Russians likely aimed to disrupt communication in order to spread the signal of their propaganda.
On April 25, Synegubov reported that the functionality of the Kharkiv TV tower had been practically restored, but there were certain issues with switching consumers.
