The Russian occupation troops conducted another air strike using 4 Shahed-136/131 attack UAVs. The Ukrainian air defense forces destroyed all the attack drones.

In the morning, the Russian army struck at the civilian infrastructure of the city of Sloviansk, Donetsk region, with an Iskander ballistic missile.

More than 120 settlements in Chernihiv, Sumy, Kharkiv, Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, Dnipro, Kherson, and Mykolaiv regions come under Russian artillery fire
