At night, Russia launched almost 30 sea-based Kalibr cruise missiles into Ukraine. They were equipped with cluster munitions.
The Russians launched about 100 attack drones and more than 90 missiles of various types into Ukraine, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported.
The enemy’s target was energy facilities. In several regions, strikes by sea-based Kalibr missiles with cluster munitions were recorded, especially on civilian infrastructure.
“These cluster munitions significantly complicate the elimination of the consequences of the strike for our rescuers and energy workers, and this is a very vile escalation of Russian terrorist tactics,” the president noted.
