Загибель вагітної жінки, двох залізничниць та енергетика: огляд ворожих атак по Україні за останні сім днів
Протягом тижня ворог завдав масованих ударів БпЛА по Харкову, здійснив смертоносні атаки на Чугуїв та Запоріжжя, обстріляв з артилерії Суми. У Слов'янську було влучання ФАБ неподалік пологового будинку, і хоча в самій лікарні ніхто не постраждав, цей обстріл змусив ухвалити рішення про закриття акушерського відділення — останнього, яке ще працювало на Донеччині. Під ударами в Україні опинилися об'єкти енергетики, залізниці та судна в Чорному морі. Через ворожі обстріли під час виконання службових обов'язків загинули енергетик у Херсоні та двоє працівниць залізниці на Сумщині.
