During the day, the Ukrainian Defense Forces repelled 21 enemy attacks on the frontlines, 14 of them in the Donetsk  region's Marinka district

This is reported by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on Facebook.

The enemy continues attempting to completely seize the Luhansk and Donetsk regions. During the past day, Ukrainian units repelled 21 enemy attacks.

Today, Russia launched a massive air strike on Ukraine, detailed information to be provided later.

Russia carried out 3 missile and 13 air attacks against Ukraine

Over the past 24 hours, the enemy conducted a total of three missile strikes, two of which were carried out by S-300 air defense systems, targeting Kramatorsk. Additionally, they executed 13 air strikes and approximately 30 MLRS attacks on the positions of our troops and populated areas.

The likelihood of further missile and air strikes across the entirety of Ukraine remains significantly high.

Ukrainian forces made 6 strikes on Russian positions 

In the past 24 hours, the defense aviation conducted four strikes on locations with a concentration of enemy personnel and military equipment. Additionally, three strikes were carried out on their anti-aircraft missile systems.

Our defenders successfully eliminated three enemy UAVs of different types during the same timeframe.

Furthermore, missile forces and artillery units targeted two command posts, two areas where weapons and military equipment were concentrated, two ammunition depots, and another significant military target of the enemy.
