Russia shells Kharkiv, damaging three medical facilities and 17 apartment buildings

Situation Overview

On 3 November 2026, Russian shelling in Kharkiv’s Nemyshlianskyi District damaged three medical facilities and 17 high-rise residential buildings in the Saltiv residential complex, the Kharkiv City Council reported on Telegram. The city council said the blast wave shattered about 1,000 windows and balconies, damaged the facade of one hospital, and damaged 13 cars. Bogdan Hladkykh, director of the city’s emergency management department, said on television that Russian forces struck a hospital overnight and fired two Iskander-M missiles at a heating and power facility. Public utilities, community organisations and volunteer groups were working at the sites, and emergency power outages were in effect in the city. The report did not provide any information on market or sector-specific economic effects beyond the local disruption to heating and power.
