“About six o’clock the invaders struck the city of Kupyansk. Previously, they hit civilian infrastructure with FAB-500s with a universal planning and correction module,” he said.

According to Sinegubov, there was no information about casualties.
“A nine-story residential building, private residential buildings, electrical networks, and other civil non-residential infrastructure were damaged,” added the head of the OVA.
For reference
The FAB-500 is a 500-kilogram general-purpose aerial bomb with a high-explosive warhead developed during the Soviet era, which is mainly used by the Russian Aerospace Forces. The original M-54 model was released in 1954. The bomb is unguided and compatible with most Soviet aircraft models. This is exactly the kind of bomb that the Russian occupiers dropped on a 9-story residential building in Kharkov from an aircraft in March 2022. Then it did not explode, broke through the roof and remained on the technical floor.
Let us note that literally on February 2, a Russian plane “lost” a FAB-500 aerial bomb in the temporarily occupied city of Zimogorye, Lugansk region. Local residents were evacuated.
Liberation of Kupyansk, Kharkov region
Kupyansk was occupied during the large-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine. Later there were serious battles for the city. The liberation of Kupyansk in the Kharkov region became known in early September 2022, when the Ukrainian Armed Forces knocked out the enemy from the left bank of the city. Later, at the end of the month, Kupyansk-Uzlovoy also came under the control of Ukrainian troops. Since then, Russian troops have not stopped shelling these cities.
