Schools, kindergartens, and other public institutions in the Russian-occupied city will not work today.

The invasion administration also called on motorists heading to Berdiansk to refrain from travelling. The Russian military has reportedly blocked many streets in the city near the port. Russian occupation media also reported that the seaport was allegedly attacked by six drones moving from the sea.

However, local residents on social media claim that there were more drones. As of 9 a.m., the attackers reported three victims with injuries of varying severity who were taken to the hospital. It was not specified whether they were civilians or military.

Recently, rocket artillery of the Armed Forces of Ukraine struck a training ground of Russian troops in the Zaporizhzhia region.

The strike was carried out using GMLRS M30A1 DPICM precision-guided rockets, which are equipped with a large number of bomblets and effectively deal with enemy manpower.
