The Ukrainian army in the town of Lysychansk has cried out
that no safe place is left in the area.
Serhiy Haidai, head of the Luhansk region military
administration of the Ukrainian army, said this on Thursday, as reported by
CNN.
The “whole of Lysychansk is being shelled with large calibre
and air strikes,” said Haidai.
He added that authorities continue to evacuate civilians and
deliver humanitarian aid.
Meanwhile, Russian cruise missiles targeted southern Ukraine
on Thursday, according to the Ukrainian military’s operational command for that
part of the country.
In Mykolaiv, three surface-to-air cruise missiles launched
from occupied Kherson struck targets in the city.
The industrial and social infrastructure of the city was
hit, one civilian was injured, details are being clarified,” the Ukrainian
Armed Forces said.
The port city of Odessa was also targeted by two cruise
missiles, the Ukrainian military said, adding that those missiles were shot
down by the country’s air defenses.
