The rain of enemy attacks on Ukraine does not abate, with 118 villages hit in 10 regions in the last 24 hours . That's a (sad) record since the beginning of the year. This was made known by the Ukrainian Interior Minister, Igor Klymenko, as reported by Ukrinform: «Since the beginning of 2023, this is the largest number of cities and villages that have been attacked».

In Kherson, this morning, a man died and three people were injured in a Russian bombing. The victim was an employee of the city's military administration. “The Russian occupation troops attacked Kherson, the central part of the city was hit,” announced the head of the military administration, Roman Mrochko.

But if Moscow does not seem to put an end to the offensive, the Ukrainian troops are not giving up the game either. Tonight, the defense forces shot down - among others - a Kh-59 cruise missile and 18 of the 20 Shahed-136/131 kamikaze drones launched by Russia in the country . The Kh-59 missile and part of the drones were launched from Russia's Kursk region, while the rest of the unmanned aircraft came from the Russian naval base in Primorsko-Akhtarsk (southeast). «During the night attack – we read in the military report – an air raid alert was declared in most regions of Ukraine. The attack drones were destroyed along the tracking path by tactical aircraft, anti-aircraft missile units, as well as mobile fire groups of the Air Force, in cooperation with the air defenses of the Defense Forces of Ukraine."
