On 27 April, Russian occupying forces made 35 assault attempts on three fronts but were rebuffed. Source: General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, information as of 18:00 on 27 April Details: Over the course of the day, Russia launched 25 airstrikes and carried out more than 20 attacks from multiple-launch rocket systems at the positions of Ukrainian troops and settlements. 

At night, Russians launched five missile strikes on Mykolaiv, as a result of which civilians were wounded and private residential buildings and other civilian infrastructure were destroyed and damaged.

The probability of further Russian missile and air strikes throughout the territory of Ukraine remains high.
