According to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Russian Federation launched another missile attack on Mykolaiv last night. Information regarding the consequences of this terrorist attack is currently being clarified.

Over the past 24 hours, the Russian occupiers launched 30 air strikes and 47 MLRS attacks. Unfortunately, people were killed and wounded, and residential buildings and other civilian infrastructure were damaged.
