During the day, Russian troops carried out 11 air strikes, two missile strikes and more than 10 MRLS attacks, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said on the evening of the 398th day of Russia's large-scale invasion.

The likelihood of missile and air strikes throughout Ukraine remains high, as Russia continues to ignore the laws and customs of war and continues to use terror tactics against civilians, the General Staff warned.

Today, as a result of a missile strike on the infrastructure of the town of Bohodukhiv in Kharkiv Region, civilians were injured and private houses were damaged.

Russian troops are focusing their main efforts on conducting offensive actions in the Lyman, Bakhmut, Avdiyivka and Maryinka areas. The towns of Bilohorivka, Bakhmut, Avdiyivka, Maryinka and their outskirts remain at the epicentre of the fighting. Thanks to professional and coordinated actions, the Ukrainian Defence Forces repelled 24 Russian attacks in the above areas over the last day.

The aviation of the Ukrainian Defence Forces carried out five strikes on the clusters of Russian personnel and military equipment over the day. Missile and artillery units hit a command post, an area where Russian manpower, weapons and military equipment were concentrated, as well as an ammunition depot.
