According to the General Staff of Ukraine’s Armed Forces, most missiles were shot down. The aircraft of the Ukrainian Defense Forces launched 12 strikes on areas with Russian military personnel and equipment and two strikes on the positions of Russian anti-aircraft missile systems. Ukraine’s Armed Forces said that Russian forces continue to focus their main efforts on conducting offensive operations in the Kupiansk, Lyman, Bakhmut, Avdiivka and Novopavlivka areas.
