Throughout the day, Russia assailed the border communities with mortar, drone, rocket, and artillery attacks, while dropping mines onto two settlements.

No casualties or damage to civilian infrastructure were reported. The town of Bilopillia, with a pre-war population of about 16,000 residents, experienced the bulk of the attacks reported on Sunday with 170 explosions recorded in the area.
