During the current day, the enemy launched one air strike and carried out seven attacks using multiple launch rocket systems.

The General Staff stressed that there is still a threat of enemy air strikes and missile attacks on critical infrastructure facilities throughout Ukraine.

In the Novopavlivka, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson directions, the enemy continues to conduct active defensive operations, trying to hold the occupied lines.
