In general, on 12 September, the Russian forces launched 5 missile strikes and more than 10 air strikes, and also conducted more than 20 attacks from MLRS on military and civilian facilities on the territory of Ukraine.
The situation on the Volyn and Polissia fronts has not changed significantly.

Occupiers’ anti-aircraft defence, electronic warfare, artillery units, ammunition, as well as storage areas of fuel and lubricants were in the affected area.
A mopping-up operation is also ongoing in the liberated territories, and there is still a high risk of mine danger. Mass crimes committed by the Russian forces on Ukrainian land. and facts of violations of international humanitarian law and the rules of warfare are being recorded.
