During the day, Russian troops carried out 11x air strikes and 2x missile strikes, carried out more than 10x attacks from MLRS.
The probability of launching missile and air strikes on the entire territory of Ukraine remains high, because the Russian army continues to ignore the laws and customs of war, and continues to use terror tactics against the civilian population. Today, as a result of a missile attack on the infrastructure of the city of Bogodukhiv, Kharkiv Oblast, civilians were injured and private houses were damaged.
