The invaders are shelling the positions of our troops along the contact line, conducting aerial reconnaissance. They strike at the civilian infrastructure and homes, violating the norms of the International Humanitarian Law, laws and customs of warfare. There is a constant threat of air and missile strikes throughout the territory of Ukraine.
During the day, the occupiers launched 2 missiles and 7 air strikes, and carried out more than 35 MLRS attacks.
More than 20 settlements suffered from enemy strikes, including Dnipro, Zaporizhzhia, Bakhmut, Spirne, Mariinka, Soledar, Bilohorivka, Blahodativka and Zaliznychne.
