Quote: “The Russian occupiers continue to cynically violate the norms of international humanitarian law, forcibly living together with civilians in their homes in order to use civilians as human shields.
For example, in the town of Tokmak, Zaporizhzhia Oblast, servicemen of Russian occupation forces are being massively accommodated in high-rise buildings where local residents live.
Over the course of the day, the aircraft of the Defence Forces carried out 15 strikes on the areas where enemy military personnel, weapons and equipment were concentrated and three strikes on enemy anti-aircraft missile systems. In addition, our defenders destroyed a Russian Su-25 aircraft and four reconnaissance UAVs.
Rocket Forces and Artillery struck two command posts, a Tor anti-aircraft missile system, a Zoopark-1M radar station and 11 artillery pieces belonging to the enemy.”
