   • CONTINUE PROVIDING MEDICAL ASSISTANCE to ALL INJURED in KHARKIV and MYRHOROD.
   • ASSESS DAMAGE to INFRASTRUCTURE in both locations.

   • CONTINUE DAMAGE ASSESSMENT and REPAIR EFFORTS.
   • IMPLEMENT MEASURES to MITIGATE DISRUPTIONS to ENERGY AND GAS SUPPLIES.

The situation remains EXTREMELY CRITICAL. The CONFIRMED STRIKES on a CIVILIAN ENTERPRISE in KHARKIV and a PRIVATE RESIDENCE and GAS PIPELINE in MYRHOROD highlight the ONGOING THREAT to CIVILIANS and CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE. IMMEDIATE AND CONTINUOUS ACTION is required to ADDRESS THE CONSEQUENCES of these ATTACKS and to MITIGATE FUTURE RISKS.
