361 days of large-scale Russian invasion began. Over the past 24 hours, the Russian occupiers have carried out four air strikes and 15 missile strikes, most of them on the civilian infrastructure of Khmelnytskyi, Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk and Kherson regions. Also, the enemy launched more than 50 attacks from rocket salvo systems.

The threat of missile strikes remains high throughout the territory of Ukraine. This is stated in the message of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on Facebook .

In the future, the main efforts of the enemy will be focused on conducting offensive actions in the Kupyansk, Lymansk, Bakhmutsk, Avdiivsk and Shakhtarsk directions.

Over the past 24 hours, units of the Defense Forces repelled the attacks of the occupiers in the areas of Hryanikyvka and Masyutivka settlements of Kharkiv region, Belogorivka, Chervopopivka and Kreminna - Luhansk region and Vyimka, Fedorivka, Dubovo-Vasylivka, Berkhivka, Bakhmut, Ivanivske and Chasiv Donetsk Yaroi regions.

In the Volyn, Poliske, Siversk, and Slobozhansk directions, the enemy continues to hold certain units in the areas bordering Ukraine, but no offensive groups have been detected. During the day, the areas of 23 settlements, including Kozache, Bunyakine, Ryzhivka, Volfine, Volodymyrivka in Sumy region and Veterinarne, Kozacha Lopan, Strilecha and Krasne Pershe in Kharkiv region, were subjected to enemy shelling.

On the Kupyansk and Lymansk directions, the enemy shelled the settlements of Novomlynsk, Dvorichna, Hryanikyvka, Kupyansk, and Berestov in the Kharkiv region, Stelmakhivka, Nevske, Chervonopivka, Kreminna, Dibrova, and Bilogorivka in the Luhansk region, and Rozdolivka and Spirne in the Donetsk region.

Areas of 21 settlements were shelled in the Bakhmut direction. Among them are Zaliznyanske, Bakhmut, Chasiv Yar, Stupochki, Ivanovske, Klishchiivka, Kurdyumivka and New York of the Donetsk region.

On the Avdiiv and Shakhtar directions, the enemy carried out artillery shelling of the areas of 16 settlements. In particular, these are Avdiivka, Vodyane, Vesele, Nevelske, Georgiivka, Maryinka, Bogoyavlenka, Velyka Novosilka, Zolota Niva, Vugledar and Neskuchne in Donetsk region.

In the Zaporizhzhia direction, the areas of the settlements of Vremivka in the Donetsk region and Malynivka, Stepove, Mali Shcherbaki, Novodanilivka, Mala Tokmachka and Biloghirya in Zaporizhzhia were damaged by fire.

In the Kherson direction, Kherson was affected by enemy artillery fire, as well as the districts of another 27 settlements, including Beryslav, Kozatske, Ponyativka, Sadov, Vesele, Antonivka, Veletenske, and Berehove of the Kherson region.

The enemy had problems with the logistical support of its units. Thus, due to the premature failure of modernized S300 anti-aircraft missile systems and the impossibility of promptly delivering combat components and carrying out routine maintenance of equipment in combat conditions, the air defense system has to be sent to manufacturing plants in Russia.

In the temporarily occupied territory of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, relatives of the mobilized mass appeal to the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation due to the violation of the rights of servicemen. The main reasons were: the lack of rotations and vacations for more than 6 months and any prospects for them in the next 2-3 months, unsatisfactory food and sanitary and hygienic conditions, due to which relatives are forced to constantly send them food and personal belongings, the use by officers of the Russian occupation forces of official positions for personal enrichment - private and non-commissioned officers are offered short-term vacations for a bribe of $1,000. The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation does not respond to citizens' appeals.

During the day, the aviation of the Defense Forces made six strikes on the areas of concentration of personnel and military equipment of the occupiers, as well as on the position of the anti-aircraft missile complex.

Air defense forces shot down two Kalibr-type cruise missiles during the day, and units of missile forces and artillery hit the area where the enemy's manpower was concentrated.

We will remind that Khmelnytskyi was hit by two rockets yesterday . The explosions damaged high-rises and residential buildings, two people were injured.
