The Russian Ministry of Defense issued a statement on this day, saying that it had attacked a company producing military supplies such as missiles, explosives, and ammunition in Ukraine.

Since launching the largest airstrike since the start of the war across Ukraine on December 29 last year, Russia has been increasing the intensity of its attacks using missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) this year as well.

Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour. (Matthew 25:13)

God of love, we hear the news that there have been dozens of casualties in Ukraine due to Russian airstrikes.

More than 200 buildings, including 139 private houses, were damaged, and the death toll continues to rise, with 18 people killed and 130 injured.

The war, which started in February 2022, is continuing until 2024, and the intensity of attacks has been increasing since the largest airstrike was carried out on December 29 last year.

Lord, please have mercy on the souls of Russia and Ukraine who are trembling with death and fear due to the ongoing war.

We confess that in the last days, when nations are against nations and kingdom against kingdom, and war and famine are constant throughout the world, the only one who can move them from death to life is the Lord Jesus Christ.

Let the gospel spread faster than war.

In this way, let the war that is covering this land come to an end quickly through the gospel, and let us become a people who are awake and waiting for the Lord to come again and prepare for it.
