One dead and 27 injured, including two children, in a Russian airstrike on the town of Izium. The town was left without electricity.

One person was killed and 27 others were injured in an airstrike by Russian forces on the town of Izium, in the Kharkiv region of Ukraine, on Monday morning. The victims included an 11-year-old boy and a 10-year-old girl. The bombing left the town completely without electricity.

According to Ukrainian authorities, the Russian army attacked the town with four FAB-500 guided aerial bombs, each weighing approximately 500 kilograms and equipped with planning and correction modules.

One of the bombs hit a four-story residential building. The attack damaged apartment blocks, private homes, and shops, and several civilian cars were destroyed by flames. A fire was also reported at a post office.

The attack also caused damage to high-voltage power lines, which led to the city's complete disconnection from the electricity grid, according to the local military administration.

The death toll gradually increased throughout the day. While initial reports indicated three injured, the number later rose to 11, then to 27, according to the National Police of the Kharkiv region.

Ukrainian prosecutors have opened a criminal investigation for war crimes, based on Article 438 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.

On the night of November 1 to November 2 (starting at 18:00 PM on November 1), Russian forces launched an attack on Ukraine with 193 drones.

According to preliminary data, by 08:00, Ukrainian air defense had shot down/neutralized 154 Shahed drones (58 of which were jet), Gerbera and other types of drones; about 6 attack drones were still in the air at around 07:45.
