On the night of April 23-24, Ukrainian defenders recorded a new episode of enemy aggression by Russian strategic forces
According to information provided by the Air Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, enemy strategic aviation operated in Ukraine's airspace, launching cruise missiles—conducting a synchronized volley attack on various regions of Ukraine. According to Ukrainian military sources, during technical radar monitoring, launches of missiles from strategic bombers and long-range aircraft of the enemy were detected. The Air Forces called on civilians to follow safety rules, recommended staying in shelters, and not to ignore alarm signals. They emphasize that the response is ongoing, and efforts are underway to identify potential targets—primarily vulnerable critical infrastructure objects and military targets. Operational data indicate that these actions are part of a broader attempt by Russia to increase pressure on the Ukrainian population and military units, using a classic tactical complex—combining cruise missiles, drones, and air strikes. This signifies another escalation of tension in the region and demonstrates the enemy’s capacity to employ modern attack tools and conduct prolonged information and military campaigns. Ukrainian military experts assure that all air defense systems are fully operational and that Ukrainian forces are doing everything possible to counter such attacks with minimal losses and damage. However, Ukrainians must remain vigilant and adhere to safety protocols, especially as the spring-summer period begins, when enemy tactics are expected to evolve, including active use of drones and missile systems. Responsible government authorities have already informed the international community about this new episode of aggression, calling for increased sanctions and support for Ukraine in resisting the Russian invasion. Allied countries continue active coordination efforts to provide military assistance, equip air defense systems, and strengthen the defense sector. Overall, the recent strikes by Russian strategic aviation confirm that Ukrainian defense remains alert, and Ukrainians are united in their determination to oppose the aggressor and preserve their sovereignty and territorial integrity.
