    Day 469 of the russian full-scale military aggression against Ukraine has begun.

    The russian federation continues to wage its war of aggression disregarding the losses. In order to achieve its goals, russia continues to use terror tactics, launches strikes and shells civilian targets, including residential areas.

    During the day of June 6, the adversary launched 35x missile strikes using Kh-101/Kh-555 air-launched cruise missiles. All the missiles were intercepted by the air defense forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The enemy also launched 41x air strikes and 57x MLRS attacks. Unfortunately, the attacks have killed and wounded civilians. Also, apartment buildings, private houses, and other civilian infrastructure have been damaged.

    The likelihood of missile and air strikes across Ukraine remains high.
