Russia unleashed a heavy bombardment on the town of Vovchansk in Ukraine's northeast, employing artillery, rockets, and guided aerial bombs. The attack was followed by an attempted infantry breach of local defenses, marking a significant tactical shift in the ongoing conflict that has now entered its third year.
The intense nighttime shelling targeted Vovchansk, located in the Kharkiv region and situated less than 5 kilometers from the Russian border. Regional authorities initiated the evacuation of approximately 3,000 residents in response to the barrage.
