Russia launched more than 100 missiles during another massive missile attack on the territory of Ukraine. According to preliminary information, the enemy used 29 S-300 anti-aircraft guided missiles and 71 air- and sea-launched cruise missilesБ the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said in its evening update on the 352nd day of Russia's large-scale invasion.

According to the report, Ukrainian defence troops destroyed 61 cruise missiles. In addition, Russia conducted 12 air strikes, two of which were carried out using Shahed-136 UAVs. In particular, they targeted civilian infrastructure. It also fired more than 20 times from multiple launch rocket systems.

The threat of strikes by the Russian Federation on civilian facilities remains high throughout Ukraine.

Despite significant losses, Russia does not abandon its intention to reach the administrative borders of Donetsk and Luhansk regions. It continues to focus its main efforts on conducting offensive operations in the Kupyansk, Lyman, Bakhmut, Avdiyivka and Novopavlivka areas, and actively uses aviation to strike at the positions of Ukrainian troops.

Over the course of the day, the aviation of the Defence Forces carried out 12 strikes on the clusters of Russian personnel and military equipment, as well as two strikes on the positions of anti-aircraft missile systems.

Missile and artillery units hit two clusters of Russian manpower, an ammunition depot, an anti-aircraft missile system position and two other important targets.
