Quote: "Over the past day, the Russian Federation launched another large-scale missile attack on civilian facilities and residential buildings. Unfortunately, there were hits. Civilians were killed and wounded. Not having the desired results on the battlefield, the enemy cynically continues to use terror tactics, thereby grossly violating the norms of international humanitarian law.
In total, during the past day, the enemy launched 23 cruise missiles of the Kh-101 and Kh-555 types. Our defenders destroyed 21 cruise missiles, as well as two operational-tactical UAVs and two attack drones.
The city of Uman in Cherkasy Oblast, the city of Dnipro, as well as the city of Ukrainka in Kyiv Oblast, were affected by the Russian missile terror. Preliminary reports indicate that more than 20 civilians were killed, including four children. People remain trapped under the rubble, and search operations are ongoing. More than 10 apartment buildings and other civilian infrastructure have been damaged. The enemy also carried out 36 airstrikes. Using guided aerial bombs, the Russians attacked Chernihiv Oblast, as a result of which eight civilian houses were destroyed in the settlement of Kostobobriv. In addition, the enemy launched 65 attacks from multiple-launch rocket systems (MLRS).
The probability of further missile and air strikes throughout Ukraine remains high.
The enemy is focusing its main efforts on conducting offensive actions on the Lyman, Bakhmut, Avdiivka and Marinka fronts. The enemy carried out 48 attacks on the specified areas of the front, during the past day. The fiercest fighting is taking place for Bakhmut and Marinka, and our soldiers are holding the defence bravely."
