Attacks on Ukraine
Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, regular shelling of Ukrainian settlements has become part of daily life. These attacks involve various types of weaponry, including missiles, guided aerial bombs (GAB), and kamikaze drones, which inflict damage on both civilian targets and critical infrastructure.
Moreover, in recent months, there has been a significant increase in nighttime drone attacks. This tactic poses an additional threat to civilians, further heightening risks to their safety.
On November 11, terrorists launched missile strikes simulating attacks. According to the Center for Countering Disinformation (CCD), Russia is prepared for a new wave of massive bombardments.
