Attack on Izium
Izium suffered significant damage when Russia invaded Ukraine. In 2022, the town fell under Russian military control, yet later that year, Ukrainian armed forces reclaimed Izium from the occupying Russians. Following this liberation, Russian troops have persistently targeted this strategic city at the forefront of conflict.
On March 24, Izium in the Kharkiv region experienced heavy aerial attacks, including the use of suicide drones.
Due to the assault by Russian troops, a blaze erupted within the city. For additional information regarding the bombardment, refer to the report from RBC-Ukraine.
We additionally mentioned that Hollywood star Angelina Jolie showed backing for 14-year-old Polina from Izium, who suffered severe wounds following a Russian assault.
