Russia regularly resorts to shelling the territory of Ukraine, using a wide arsenal of weapons, from missiles and guided aerial bombs to artillery and attack drones. Civilian objects such as residential buildings, medical facilities, energy and transportation infrastructure are often the main targets of such attacks.
