Then, another phase from around 12:30 p.m., where the sirens sounded again.
Then at the end of the afternoon, again around 5 p.m.

The Ukrainians therefore rely on anti-aircraft defense and anti-missile missiles.
This is why their deliveries are so important.
According to the authorities, here, of the 71 rockets launched by the Russians, 61 would have been shot down, not counting the suicide drones.
Russia targets energy infrastructure
The danger with what is shot down is falling debris, but this is less of a problem than the missile's explosive charge.
Then, once again, it was the energy infrastructures that were targeted, including probably on the border areas of the south-west - he remains this Friday evening on a questioning about the flight of Russian missiles near the Romanian and Moldavian borders, even above the territory of these countries, according to the Ukrainian authorities.
