Russian shelling of Ukraine
During the full-scale war, Russia systematically carries out missile, artillery, and drone attacks on Ukrainian territory. The main targets of the strikes are energy facilities, industrial enterprises, residential buildings, and more. These attacks aim not only to cause material damage but also to sow panic among the population.
Both cities and settlements near the front line and the state border remain under constant fire. The Kharkiv, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson regions suffer the most, with significant destruction and numerous civilian casualties.
Last night, the enemy launched a combined attack, deploying cruise and ballistic missiles and attacking with drones. A total of 124 drones were launched from five directions. Ukraine's air defense managed to destroy 57 UAVs, while 64 other enemy decoy drones were lost locally.
