Quote from Zelenskyy: "A large-scale combined attack on all Ukrainian oblasts. Russian terrorists have used various types of drones, particularly Shaheds, over the night and morning. [They also launched] cruise, ballistic and air-to-surface missiles: Zircons, Iskanders, Kinzhals.

The enemy targeted our energy infrastructure across Ukraine. Sadly, there is damage to facilities from hits and the fall of wreckage.

A drone attack has killed two people in Mykolaiv and injured six others, including two children. My condolences to their families and friends. As of now, power cuts have occurred in some areas, and all necessary resources have been engaged in dealing with the aftermath and recovery efforts."

Details: Zelenskyy expressed gratitude to Ukrainian air defence units, specifically anti-aircraft missile troops, pilots of F-16, Su, and MiG warplanes, mobile fire groups, and electronic warfare teams, for their efforts.
