Quote: "The Russian Federation continues to use terror tactics. Yesterday, the enemy launched 19 missile strikes (our defenders successfully destroyed 15 enemy cruise missiles of the Kh-101 and Kh-555 types), carried out 17 airstrikes, and launched 25 attacks using multiple-launch rocket systems (MLRS). Unfortunately, there were civilians killed and wounded, including children. High-rise residential buildings, private residential buildings, schools, hospitals, kindergartens and other civilian infrastructure facilities were destroyed and damaged.

The probability of further missile and air strikes throughout Ukraine remains high.

The occupiers are focusing their main efforts on conducting offensive actions on the Lyman, Bakhmut, Avdiivka and Marinka fronts; 41 enemy attacks were repelled there. The fiercest fighting is taking place for Bakhmut and Marinka, and our soldiers are holding the defence bravely."
