War

On July 26, Russian occupiers struck an ATB supermarket in Chernihiv. The war crime was committed by servicemen from Combat Group No. 3 of the “GROM ‘Kaskad’” Separate Unmanned Aviation Brigade.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy stated that today’s Russian strikes on civilian targets in Chernihiv and Zaporizhzhia “constitute deliberate acts of terror and have no military justification whatsoever.” He also called on international partners to tighten sanctions against Russia.

Earlier today, a Russian drone struck the ATB supermarket building in Chernihiv. Two people, including a child, were killed in the attack, and 13 others were injured.

On Sunday, July 26, Russian forces carried out a series of strikes on Zaporizhzhia over the course of several hours. The enemy used both attack drones and guided aerial bombs (GABs). The attacks resulted in one fatality and several injuries among the civilian population, as well as damage to infrastructure.

On the night of July 25–26, Russian occupation forces launched another attack on the Ukrainian capital using ballistic missiles and drones. As a result of the enemy attack, fires broke out in three districts of the city, and non-residential buildings, warehouses, and a dozen cars were damaged.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that, according to intelligence reports, Russia is preparing to expand its mobilization this fall and plans to recruit about 30,000 more troops from North Korea.

On the night of July 24–25, the Ukrainian Defense Forces, in coordination with the Security Service of Ukraine, carried out a series of effective long-range strikes against naval, industrial, and defense facilities on Russian territory and in the waters of the Caspian Sea.
