The Ukrainian Army destroyed seven Russian aircraft, one helicopter, three drones and three missiles, according to the Air Force Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
“The Air Force once again inflicts losses on villains, both in the air and on the ground. The fighters carried out several air fights in the sky, hit two air targets,” said the Armed Forces of Ukraine in a statement on its official Facebook account.
“Air Force bombers and assault planes inflicted heavy blows on the columns of armored vehicles and vehicles supplying the Russian occupation forces,” they added.
They also reported the “defeat of five other occupation aircraft (...) Air Defense also destroyed three drones, three cruise missiles and one helicopter.”
Clashes between Russian-backed militias and the Ukrainian Army have spread to areas in the north and east of the region, although pro-Russian separatists have managed to seize several locations in Donetsk province for the time being.
DESTRUCTION IN MARIUPOL
As Vladimir Putin's troops intensify attacks on civilians, the destruction in the Ukrainian city of Mariupol, under Russian siege for 16 days, is “colossal” and it is estimated that 80 per cent of homes have been destroyed, while 30,000 people have been able to leave the city in the last two days with their own transport, reported this Thursday the local council.
“According to preliminary estimates, about 80% of the city's housing stock has been destroyed, of which almost 30% cannot be restored. The situation in Mariupol is critical,” the council wrote on its Telegram channel.
He recalled that the city had been under blockade for 16 days and that more than 350,000 residents of Mariupol were still hiding in warehouses and basements “in the face of the continuous bombardment of the Russian occupation forces”, which dropped, on average, “50 to 100 aerial bombs a day”.
In the past two days, the inhabitants of Mariupol began to evacuate the city by private transport, in the direction of Berdyansk and Zaporizhzhia, following the opening of a humanitarian corridor.
“In total, about 6,500 cars left the besieged Mariupol... In total, about 30,000 people went out on their own transport,” he said.
On the other hand, the City Council notes that there is still no information on possible victims of the Russian bombing perpetrated on Wednesday against a theater in the city, where more than a thousand women and children were refugees and reduced to rubble, but where the bomb shelter in the building resisted the attack.
