Ukraine said Russian missiles hit industrial facilities today in the southern city of Mykolayiv while Moscow continued to promote attack in the East.

Mayor of Mykolayiv Oleksandr Senkevych said that Russian missiles have attacked an important industrial and shipbuilding center in the mouth of the Southern Bug river in this city.

Mykolayiv often faces Russian missile raids in recent weeks, when the Russian forces want to find a way to erode the Ukrainian defense system.

A government building in Mykolayiv, Ukraine, was hit by a rocket in March.

The Russian army once declared the goal of controlling the entire Black coast of Ukraine to the Romanian border.

At the beginning of the conflict, Ukrainian forces successfully resisted Russia's efforts to control Mykolayiv, the city near the Black coast between Crimea and Odessa port.

Since then, the Russian army has stopped attacking campaigns into the city, but often conducted rocket raids.

The Russian military has not commented on the allegations of industrial attacks in Mykolayiv, but has repeatedly confirmed not to raid civil goals, but only targeted Ukrainian military facilities.

Currently, the Russian military is focusing on control of Donbass, the central area of the eastern Ukraine.

Ukraine said their forces still controlled two small villages in the Lugansk area, one of the two provinces forming the Donbass region, and was preventing Russia from further into Donetsk.

The Ukrainian military general staff said that the military has blocked the Russian force towards Sloviansk, the important Ukrainian stronghold in Donetsk.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on July 16 called on the people of Ukraine not to be bewildered in the context of Russia constantly warning about terrible missile attacks.

Obviously no Russian missile or artillery can break our solidarity or make us leave the path towards a democratic, independent Ukraine, he speaks in the speech every night.

Vadym Skibitskyi, an Ukrainian military intelligence spokesman, said Russia was preparing for the next stage of the military campaign in the country, after the Russian Defense Minister called on the forces to promote forces.

Not only are the missile attacks from the air and at sea, Skibitskyi said.

Obviously they are preparing for the next stage of the campaign, he added.

According to the Ukrainian army, Russia seemed to be re -gathering units for a attack on Sloviansk, the important symbolic city controlled by Ukraine in Donetsk.

The Russian Defense Ministry announced that the country had shot down Ukraine's Mi-17 helicopter in Sloviansk and Su-25 excitation in the Kharkov area, northeast.

Their long -range air defense missiles also destroyed an industrial zone in the port city of Odessa, southern Ukraine, which contained Harpoon anti -ship missiles transferred by NATO to Kiev.

Ukraine has not yet commented.
