Why this matters

These strikes are part of Russia's ongoing full-scale invasion of Ukraine, which frequently targets civilian areas and critical infrastructure. Such attacks aim to degrade Ukraine's ability to resist and inflict psychological pressure, often leading to civilian casualties and widespread disruption. The timing, just before the fourth anniversary of the full-scale invasion, underscores the continued intensity of the conflict.
