Dozens of times were fired last night (Saturday) at military and civilian targets in northern and western Ukraine, by the Russian military after a long period in which no missile attacks of this magnitude were carried out on the country.
The Russian military has fired cruise missiles from vessels in the Black Sea and located in Russia's southern border regions.
According to reports in Ukraine, 30 missiles were fired at military sites in Zhytomyr Oblast.
According to authorities there, at least one soldier was killed and three civilians were injured and ten missiles were intercepted by Ukraine's air defense systems.
In the Chernihiv region, too, a major missile attack was recorded on the main training facility of the Ukrainian infantry in the town of Desna.
Authorities at the scene claimed that infrastructure was damaged but there were no casualties in the shooting.
It was also reported that at least two of the missiles were intercepted by the air defense systems.

Meanwhile, the British Ministry of Defense has released a comprehensive report according to which the Kremlin apparently ousted a number of generals from key command positions in the invasion of Ukraine during the month. According to the report, President Putin personally intervened in the new appointments Donbass, where progress has been made but slowly and at a high cost of losses.
Yesterday, the Ukrainian army announced a withdrawal from the city of Sverdansk, after 120 days of stubborn fighting in the streets of the last remaining Ukrainian stronghold in Luhansk Oblast.
Despite Russian claims of significant siege of Ukrainian troops and mass surrender, officials in the Donbas region reported that the withdrawal was successful and that Ukrainian forces were able to retreat to easier positions for defense in the nearby town of Lisichansk.
