Details: During the day, the Russians carried out 9 missiles and 11 air strikes, as well as 20 strikes from multiple-launch missile systems. There are wounded and dead among the civilians. The threat of Russian strikes remains high throughout Ukraine.

The enemy continues to focus its main efforts on conducting offensive actions on the Kupiansk, Lyman, Bakhmut, Avdiivka and Shakhtarsk fronts. 

On the Volyn, Polissia, Sivershchyna and Slobozhanshchyna fronts, no offensive groups were detected. The Russians maintain a military presence in this area, continuing to train their units at the training grounds in the Republic of Belarus. In the course of the last 24 hours, the settlements of Karpovychi, Tymonovychi, Yanzhulivka in Chernihiv Oblast, Atynske, Stukalivka and Zapsillia in Sumy Oblast, as well as Strilecha, Starytsia,  Vovchanski Khutory and Stroivka in Kharkiv Oblast took damage. 

On the Kupiansk and Lyman fronts, the Russians shelled the settlements of Kamianka, Dvorichna, Hrianykivka, Kupiansk, Berestove, Pershotravneve in Kharkiv Oblast, Stelmakhivka, Nevske, Dibrova, Bilohorivka in Luhansk Oblast, as well as Bilohorivka and Rozdolivka in Donetsk Oblast.

On the Bakhmut front, the settlements of Berkhivka, Bakhmut, Ivanivske, Bila Hora, Oleksandro-Shultyne, Kurdiumivka, Maiorsk and Niu-York were attacked. In addition, Russians used military aviation to launch a strike near Bakhmut.

On the Avdiivka and Shakhtarsk fronts, the occupiers shelled Vesele, Avdiivka, Vodiane, Pervomaiske, Krasnohorivka, Heorhiivka, Marinka, Pobieda, Novomykhailivka, Vuhledar, Shakhtarske, Zolota Nyva, Velyka Novosilka, Vremivka and Neskuchne in Donetsk Oblast.

On the Zaporizhzhia front, Novosilka in Donetsk Oblast, Poltavka, Malynivka, Huliaipole, Charivne, Novodanylivka, Novoandriivka and Shcherbaky in Zaporizhzia Oblast came under fire. 

On the Kherson front, the Russians struck the city of Kherson, as well as Burhunka, Tiahynka, Antonivka in Kherson Oblast, and Ochakiv in Mykolaiv Oblast with artillery fire. Civilian residents were injured. 

In the village of Kalanchak, Kherson Oblast, the Russian occupiers set up yet another military hospital, this time on the premises of the city’s central hospital. Now, the Ukrainian citizens that reside in the area are denied medical care in the said facility. The hospital became a kind of "hub" for wounded and dead occupiers. Just yesterday over fifty wounded and killed invaders were brought to the medical facility.

In the temporarily occupied settlements of Zaporizhzhia Oblast, the Russian occupation administration continues to exert pressure on the local population, in particular, on Ukrainian children. So, in the schools of the city of Tokmak, students are forced to sing the anthem of the aggressor country before the start of classes. Schoolchildren are also forced to make postcards for the anniversary of the large-scale invasion with words of support and gratitude to the Russian invaders who invaded Ukraine.
