Details: Horbunov said that the situation in the hromada remains extremely tense and a full inspection of the sites is currently impossible because of the immediate threat of a repeated attack and the high activity of enemy drones that are constantly flying over the area. [A hromada is an administrative unit designating a village, several villages, or a town, and their adjacent territories – ed.]

Quote: "The enemy does not allow even to recover bodies with dignity and safety or to provide assistance to the injured, once again confirming its treacherous tactic of terror."
