Ukraine’s General Staff said Ukrainian troops repelled Russian attacks near 15 settlements in the eastern Donetsk, Luhansk, and Kharkiv regions over the past day. According to its statement, Russian forces conducted seven missile attacks and 16 air strikes, and more than 40 assaults with multiple-launch rocket systems. According to the local movement officials, the Nikopol district in the central Dnipropetrovsk region was shelled again overnight. Moreover, Russia may have modified its drones to operate in colder weather and could increase their use in the coming weeks to help target Ukrainian critical infrastructure, according to the latest report from the Washington-based Institute for the Study of War.
