Quote:  "During the day, [the enemy – ed.] inflicted fire damage on our positions, settlements adjacent to the line of contact, as well as in the rear, where they hit critical civilian infrastructure targets, using strategic and military aircraft, multiple-launch rocket systems, heavy artillery and mortars.

The enemy continues active aerial reconnaissance with UAVs in order to ascertain the location of Ukrainian Armed Forces and adjust artillery fire.

A pair of Ka-52 helicopters attacked our positions; this did not result in fatalities."
