As Rubryka reported earlier, on the night of November 21, the Russian forces carried out a massive air attack on several regions using missiles and Shahed kamikaze drones. Ukrainian defenders downed 10 Shahed dromes and an Iskander-K missile.
As reported by the General Staff, the Russians used four guided S-300 anti-aircraft missiles, an Iskander-K cruise missile, and 11 strike UAVs.
The Russian forces shelled Selydove before. Last week, Russian invaders shelled a residential building, causing a collapse of the entrance in the city of Selydove, Donetsk region. Four people died in that incident.
