Russian forces struck a farm in the village of Stara Hnylytsia, Chuhuiv district, Kharkiv Oblast (roughly 30 km east of Kharkiv city) on the morning of September 24 with three S-8000 Banderol jet-powered cruise missiles. One missile hit a vegetable storage facility where workers were sorting produce, killing 6 (two men and four women) and injuring 12, four of them in serious condition with head and neck injuries.
