Quote: "The Russian occupiers launched another missile attack on Ukraine last night. Information regarding the aftermath of this terrorist attack is currently being updated.

Yesterday, the enemy launched 2 missile strikes on Donetsk and Dnipropetrovsk oblasts, in particular, using an Iskander tactical missile system. One Iskander-K missile hit the suburbs of Dnipro, damaging a two-storey residential building, and more than 20 civilians sustained moderate to severe injuries, including children.

In addition, the enemy carried out 30 airstrikes and 56 attacks using multiple-launch rocket systems on the positions of our troops and settlements. The probability of missile and air strikes throughout the territory of Ukraine remains high.
