[Russian forces used] heavy 152-calibre tubed artillery to shell Halitsynove. There were no casualties or any significant damage – [the Russians] struck the area outside the village itself.

Over the course of the day [Ukrainian aircraft] conducted six airstrikes. [Ukrainian] attack aircraft carried out two strikes: on a [Russian] strong point and a concentration of enemy troops, weapons and equipment in the Beryslav district."
