Russians organized a so-called evacuation from the temporarily occupied Enerhodar to Rostov region for the families of ZNPP employees 

This was reported by the AFU General Staff in the morning briefing on May 10.

The invading Russian forces organized a so-called evacuation for the families of workers of the Zaporizhzhia NPP in the temporarily occupied Enerhodar, while the employees of the power plant themselves were not allowed to leave.

According to the report, the occupation authorities announced the evacuation of people to recreation centers and hotels in Berdyansk and Kyrylivka. However, those who agreed were taken to tent cities in the Rostov region instead.

In Velyka Bilozerka, last week, most of the collaborators left the settlement in their own vehicles in the direction of Crimea.

Russia launched 23 missile and 43 air strikes against Ukraine 

On May 9th, the enemy launched 23 missile strikes and 43 air strikes, as well as 97 MLRS attacks.

The Russian army used various types of missiles, with most of them being successfully destroyed by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. However, some still managed to hit their targets, including 5 S-300 missiles that hit Kupyansk, Sloviansk, Kramatorsk, and Kostiantynivka.

The threat of further missile and air strikes across Ukraine remains high, as the enemy continues to employ terror tactics.

The enemy launched 46 attacks in 4 directions

Over the past day, Russian forces have carried out 46 attacks.

In the last 24 hours, the Air Force of the Defense Forces has launched eight strikes on areas where the enemy's personnel and military equipment are concentrated, and two strikes on anti-aircraft missile systems. The missile forces and artillery units have also hit the enemy's command post, four areas of manpower concentration, two artillery units at the firing position, and their radio-electronic warfare station.
