Day 682 of the russian full-scale military aggression against Ukraine has begun.

The adversary continues to ignore the laws and customs of warfare, using the terror tactics, launching missile and air strikes, and firing multiple launch rocket systems not only at the military, but also at numerous civilian targets across Ukraine. 

During the day of January 5, there were 62 combat engagements. The enemy launched a total of 5 missile and 25 air strikes, 32 MLRS attacks at the positions of Ukrainian troops and various settlements. Unfortunately, the russian terrorist attacks have killed and wounded civilians. Residential buildings and other civilian infrastructure were destroyed or damaged.

At night, the russian occupiers launched yet another air strike using 2 Shahed-136/131 UAVs. All of the enemy drones have been destroyed. 

Air strikes hit Novomykhailivka (Donetsk oblast), Mala Tockmachka (Zaporizhzhia oblast), Zmiyivka, and Chervonyi Mayak (Kherson oblast).

More than 100 settlements in Chernihiv, Sumy, Kharkiv, Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, Dnipropetrovsk, Kherson, and Mykolaiv oblasts came under artillery fire.
