Attack on Rivne region

 According to the mayor of Rivne, Oleksandr Tretiak, dozens of Shaheds and missiles attacked the region last night. He wrote about this on his Telegram channel.

"The largest attack on the Rivne region. Today, our region experienced one of the toughest nights: dozens of Shaheds and missiles attacked our region. We thank God for every life saved. We thank the air defense heroes and mobile fire teams - you held the sky when the earth was shaking. Your courage is a shield for millions. No matter what, we are holding the line! Dubno, how are you? You took the lion's share of this attack. I wish you strength and endurance. We are with you. The Kremlin dwarf is hysterical because he feels powerless. We will not be broken. Let's keep the line," Tretiak emphasized.
