Details: In particular, the Russians conducted a massive attack on the city of Bilopillia. An air strike occurred; the invaders also deployed a Grad multiple-launch rocket system (with 80 hits recorded) and tubed artillery (20 hits recorded).
The attack on Bilopillia killed two people and wounded 9. An administrative building, a school building, and a resid
ential building were destroyed; apartment buildings, private houses and a dormitory were damaged.
Background:
Sr. Lt. Vadym Lystopad, 37-year-old policeman, and a local school guard were killed in the night attack.
Colonel Yurii Ihnat, Ukrainian Air Forces spokesperson, said on air during the national joint 24/7 newscast that during the attack against Ukraine on the night of 23-24 March, Russia deployed guided aerial bombs, a Kh-31 anti-radar missile and Iranian-made kamikaze drones. According to him, this is now an extremely massive threat when guided aircraft bombs can fly a long distance, and the aircraft that launch them are beyond the range of Ukraine's air defence. Thus, more than ten of these guided bombs hit the facilities in Sumy Oblast.
