18 missile strikes were carried out across Ukraine from Russian-controlled territories. Critical infrastructure facilities were damaged as a result of shelling.

Reserve Colonel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleg Zhdanov suggests that a possible reason for the sudden massive strike is either the encouragement of the Russian Federation to further escalate the war, or revenge for the shelling of Izyum.
