On the night of July 26, the Russian army launched another combined attack on the territory of Ukraine. Sumy, Kharkiv, and Dnipro regions came under fire, according to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
Missiles were used, including ballistic missiles and attack drones.
Russia attacked several regions in the east and the center of the country at once.
Civilians have suffered - there are dead and wounded. The president expressed his condolences to the families of the victims.
The SES units responded promptly - rescuers immediately went to the sites of the attacks.
Zelensky emphasized that there could be no silence in response. Ukrainian long-range drones regularly strike targets in the Russian rear.
"Russian military enterprises, Russian logistics, and Russian airfields must see that Russia’s own war is now hitting them back with real consequences," Zelenskyy wrote.
According to him, the precise strikes of Ukrainian drones and the daily actions of the Defense Forces can bring peace closer.
