Four Tu-95MS strategic aircraft launched four Kh-101/Kh-555 cruise missiles from the Caspian Sea. One of the missiles was destroyed, while the rest hit industrial facilities in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast.

The enemy launched Iranian-made Shahed drones from the northern and southern directions. All 20 attack drones were destroyed.

In addition, an enemy tactical reconnaissance UAV was shot down on the eastern front.

According to updated information, over the past day, the Russian occupiers launched a missile and air strike against Ukraine, using six Kh-22 air-launched cruise missiles, four Kalibr sea-launched cruise missiles and seven Iranian-made Shahed attack drones. Nine air targets were destroyed during the attack, including three Kalibr cruise missiles and six Iranian-made Shahed attack drones.

In total, the enemy carried out 38 air strikes over the past day, and fired from multiple-launch rocket systems about 52 times.

The likelihood of further missile and air strikes across Ukraine is very high.
