Yes, following the missile attack on a power plant in the Lviv region of western Ukraine, the Russian military is intensifying air strikes across Ukraine.



Last night, it was reported that missile attacks were also carried out in the central city of Cherkasi and in the southeastern part of Zaporiza.



[Olexandr Motuzianik / Spokesperson of Ukrainian Ministry of Defense: Russian forces have launched tactical and strategic bombers to strike targets in Kharkiv, Donetsk, Kihorad, Odessa, Lviv and Zakharpathia.

There have been nearly 50 airstrikes.]

How is Russia's nuclear attack simulation exercise in the Baltic Sea being interpreted?



<Reporter>



The Russian military conducted a simulation exercise to attack a hypothetical enemy with a nuclear warhead missile in Kaliningrad, off the coast of the Baltic Sea.



This was a simulation exercise of firing a mobile Iskander ballistic missile equipped with a nuclear warhead.



Kaliningrad, where the training took place, is a Russian offshore territory on the Baltic Sea coast between Poland and Lithuania.



Russia invaded Ukraine to join NATO, but on the contrary, as neutral countries such as Finland and Sweden are seeking to join NATO, Russia's level of nuclear provocation continues to rise.
