Almost 60 Russian attacks were repulsed by Ukrainian troops yesterday in the Donetsk region alone.
“The Ukrainian Air Force made 14 strikes against enemy clusters. In addition, two Merlin-type drones, one Orlan-10 drone and eight Lancet-type kamikaze drones were shot down,” reads the report released by the Kyiv Army General Staff.
For its part, Moscow yesterday launched a rocket attack and 46 air raids, also firing 60 volleys of rockets with MLRS multiple launch systems on Ukrainian troop positions and populated areas. The Russians also bombed the Lugansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions. According to the army, the likelihood of Russia launching more missile and air strikes on the entire Ukrainian territory remains high.
During the night the city of Nikopol, in the Dnepropetrovsk region (south-east), came under attack, without causing injuries or victims: the head of the regional military administration, Sergey Lysak, announced on Telegram, as reported by Ukrinform. "Tonight, the enemy struck Nikopol. They hit the city with heavy artillery. No people were injured by shelling," wrote Lysak. Yesterday afternoon, Russian troops attacked the city of Nikopol with drones, wounding three people.
