Occupiers in Kherson region intensify use of attack drones, using up to 80 units per day - OC "South"
In the Kherson region, the Russian invaders have intensified the use of drones, using up to 80 units per day.
Natalia Humeniuk, head of the joint press centre of the Operational Command "South", said this at a briefing at the Ukraine-Uninform media centre, Censor.NET reports.
"The enemy does not stop its activity in the direction of the Right Bank. The de-occupied territories in the immediate vicinity of water are particularly affected by regular shelling and the use of drones. The enemy has reinforced this component very strongly, using more than 80 units per day in our area of responsibility alone. These are mainly from the Kherson region, but also FPV drones and drones of other modifications, including reconnaissance drones and those capable of dropping fragmentation munitions, are used from the Kinburn Spit from this direction in the direction of Mykolaiv region, the opposite bank of the Dnipro-Bug estuary," explained Humeniuk.
According to the spokeswoman, such actions by the occupiers indicate their intention to disperse the Defence Forces along the entire length of this section of the frontline.
At the same time, the Southern Defence Forces continue to expand their foothold and eliminated more than 100 occupiers over the past day.
"We continue to fight for positions on the left bank, expanding our footholds. Obviously, the occupiers are afraid of this activity, so ... they resumed their activity again and over the past day they made 8 attacks, but all of them were unsuccessful. The occupiers were forced to return to their positions with losses of personnel. Over the last day, we have confirmed 105 occupants who were eliminated in our area of responsibility," noted Colonel Humeniuk.
Moreover, there are results of destruction of enemy equipment, including artillery systems. In this area, the enemy is trying to restore its forces by forming reinforcement teams, added the spokesperson for the "South" Joint Forces Operation.
