Ukrainian soldiers continue to hold positions on the Dnipro River's left bank, repulsing Russian attacks near Terny of the Donetsk region. The occupiers are trying to improve their tactical position in the Mariinka direction.
Russian shellings
The Russian Federation continues to wage a war of aggression. Despite significant losses, he does not give up his plans for the complete occupation of Ukraine. The adversary continues to ignore the laws and customs of war and uses terror tactics, strikes, and attacks on both military and civilian objects. The enemy actively uses aviation and quadrocopters of the "FPV" type and conducts assaults with the support of armoured vehicles.
The operational situation in the east and south of Ukraine remains difficult. During the day, 94 combat clashes took place.
The enemy hit eight missiles (with S-300 anti-aircraft guided missiles on the civil infrastructure of Mirnograd, Novogradivka of the Donetsk region and Antonivka of the Kherson region) and carried out 38 attacks from rocket salvo systems on the positions of our troops and populated areas.
As a result of Russian terrorist attacks, unfortunately, there are dead and wounded among the civilian population. High-rise and private buildings, schools, kindergartens, shopping centres and other civil infrastructure were destroyed and damaged.
