Yesterday, they fired at the Ostriv microdistrict, but these shots were fired at the shipyard area. Today it is reported that this happened in residential areas; the center of the city also suffered from shelling. No casualties have been officially reported yet.

In addition, mine clearance works are underway in the city,” Serhii Khlan explained.
