Russian attacks on the cities of Kharkiv and Uman on 25–26 December 2025 killed at least two people and injured 14, local authorities reported.
In Kharkiv Oblast, three KAB guided bombs struck the region, one hitting a central road in the Shevchenkivskyi district of Kharkiv, Governor Oleh Syniehubov said. Two men, aged 55 and 40, were killed, one on the spot and the other in an ambulance, while eight others were injured, including a nine-month-old girl.
Kharkiv Mayor Ihor Terekhov said the strike hit the city’s busiest road, causing several vehicles to catch fire and shattering windows in nearby apartments and private homes. Emergency services and police are inspecting the damage, and traffic on the affected road was temporarily blocked. Syniehubov emphasised that no military facilities were present at the site, only civilian buildings.
In Cherkasy Oblast, central Ukraine, the city of Uman was struck by a missile on 26 December, injuring six people, including two children, Governor Ihor Tabyrets reported. Preliminary assessments indicate that at least 50 houses were damaged.
The attacks follow Russia’s refusal to observe a Christmas truce suggested by German Chancellor Friedrich Merz on 16 December 2025.
On 25 December, Russian forces also struck a market in Kherson and a residential building in Chernihiv, killing at least two people and injuring ten others. Overall, Russian attacks on 25 December killed five civilians and injured at least 23 across Ukraine, according to regional authorities.
