Quote: "Last night, Russia launched another missile and air strike on Ukraine. Information on the consequences of this terrorist attack is currently being clarified.

Over the past day, the Russian occupiers launched 2 missile strikes and 43 airstrikes, and carried out about 55 attacks using multiple-launch rocket systems on the positions of our troops and settlements. Unfortunately, these Russian terrorist attacks have resulted in civilian casualties, both dead and injured, including children, as well as damage to residential buildings and other civilian infrastructure facilities.

The possibility of missile and air strikes across Ukraine remains high.

A total of 33 combat clashes took place over the past day."
