Quote: "Last night, the Russian Federation carried out another airstrike on Ukraine using 2 Iranian-made Shahed attack UAVs. Anti-aircraft defences destroyed both drones.

Over the course of the past 24 hours, the enemy launched 5 missile strikes, using Kh-101/Kh-555 and Kh-59 cruise missiles. In addition, they carried out more than 60 airstrikes and also launched 80 attacks using multiple-launch rocket systems on the positions of our military and the [peaceful] settlements. Unfortunately, there were civilian fatalities and casualties, and industrial facilities in Kryvyi Rih in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast as well as residential buildings and administrative infrastructure facilities in Kherson Oblast have been damaged.

The likelihood of missile and air strikes throughout Ukraine remains very high.

The enemy continues to focus its main efforts on the Lyman, Bakhmut, Avdiivka, and Marinka fronts – there were 30 combat clashes over the past day."
