According to updated information, over the past day, the Russian occupiers launched a missile and air strike against Ukraine, using six Kh-22 air-launched cruise missiles, four Kalibr sea-launched cruise missiles and seven Iranian-made Shahed attack drones. Nine air targets were destroyed during the attack, including three Kalibr cruise missiles and six Iranian-made Shahed attack drones.
