To support the actions of ground groups, the defence forces' aircraft launched 19 strikes on positions of the Russian occupiers. 14 areas of concentration of Russian occupying forces (manpower and military equipment) and 5 positions of anti-aircraft missile systems were destroyed.

At the same time, the invaders launched 5 missiles and 12 air strikes during the day, carrying out 9 MLRS attacks on military and civilian facilities on the territory of Ukraine, violating the norms of International Humanitarian Law and the laws and customs of war.
As a result of Russian strikes, more than 30 cities and towns were damaged, namely, Bakhmut, Mykolaivka, Kalynivka, Mykolaiv, Sukhyi Stavok, Pivdenne, Mali Shcherbaky.
The Russians opened fire from fired tanks, mortars and tubed artillery:

- On the Pivdennyi Buh front, more than 40 cities and towns along the contact line were attacked. More than 60 sorties of Russian UAVs were also recorded, as they conducted reconnaissance and adjusted fire.
Partial mobilisation measures are ongoing in the Russian Federation. Due to the low morale and readiness of Russian citizens to participate in hostilities on the territory of Ukraine, representatives of the military enlistment offices walk door-to-door with immediate delivery of call-up notices to men of conscription age in populated cities and towns of Krasnodar Krai right since the mobilisation was announced. Police checkpoints are set up on the main roads to control the movement of the male population.
After a short training in training centres, mobilised personnel are supposed to be sent to replenish military units that suffered heavy losses during the war in Ukraine.
