Shelling of Ukraine
Russia resorts to regular shelling of Ukrainian territory, posing a serious threat to the civilian population. For attacks, the enemy uses missiles, artillery, drones and guided air bombs (CAB).
Especially in recent months, terrorists have been launching drones at Ukraine almost every night. For example, on the night of December 17, Russia used 31 drones. At the same time, the air defense managed to destroy 20 of them.
