A Russian pilot from the 22nd Heavy Bomber Aviation Division provided Ukrainian intelligence with information about his colleagues. These individuals are the ones constantly launching Kh-101 missiles at Ukrainian cities, according to the informed source.
According to the agency's source, a pilot from the 22nd Heavy Bomber Aviation Division, Unit 06987 based at Engels Airfield, contacted the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine (DIU). The Russian pilot wrote to the intelligence chatbot that he and several of his colleagues were shocked by the attack on the children's hospital and did not understand why they were being ordered to attack civilian infrastructure in Ukraine. That's why he decided to pass documents related to his military unit's activities and private photos of the command staff of the 22nd Heavy Bomber Aviation Division to the Ukrainian side.
According to the source, even the initial analysis of the materials obtained shows their extreme importance. Among the provided information are personal files of senior officers, personal data of Russian servicemen and their families. The top-secret documents of the 22nd Heavy Bomber Aviation Division are considered the most valuable.
Shelling of Okhmatdyt on July 8

Later, the UN Security Council convened an emergency meeting to discuss the enemy's massive shelling. Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba later stated that Russia attempted to block Ukraine's participation in the initiated meeting due to the massive missile attack on July 8.
By July 10, it was reported that the first child had died who was in the intensive care unit during the shelling.
