Attack on Ukraine, July 12

Previously, RBC-Ukraine reported that Russian troops struck Sloviansk using the Tornado-S multiple rocket launcher system.

Overall, the occupiers once again carried out an attack on much of Ukraine overnight. Russia launched at least 10 strikes on Kharkiv alone. According to the authorities, the occupiers used eight attack drones and two guided aerial bombs.

One of the Shaheds hit critical infrastructure. Two people were injured.

In Lviv, a drone destroyed the entrance of a residential building—causing a gas leak. In Lutsk, a private home was completely destroyed, and other structures were also damaged. Rescuers are still working to eliminate the consequences of the strikes.

Russian forces didn’t spare Chernivtsi either. Last night, the enemy carried out a combined attack on the city. As a result of the shelling, the number of victims has increased to dozens, and two fatalities have been confirmed.

More details on the overnight attack are in the material by RBC-Ukraine.
