The Russians have increased the number of attacks on Ukrainian territory.



However, the invaders are launching combined attacks - they are increasingly launching kamikaze drones and fewer missiles. Yuriy Ignat, spokesman for the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, said this during a Media Center Ukraine briefing.

I would say that there has been a serious intensification. We were attacked just as intensively by the enemy in autumn and winter. Their aim was to destroy infrastructure, up to a hundred missiles were flying there. In fact once, twice a week the enemy was hitting, but very massively," the speaker said.

According to him, the enemy resorted to combined attacks. For example, during the night attack, the Russians launched kamikaze drones and rockets.

During the night attack we launched drones and cruise missiles. And already around 11:30 the enemy used specifically Iskander class missiles. There are two types of missiles the enemy uses - Iskander-K (cruise missile) Iskander-M (ballistic missile)," said Ignat.

However, the frequency of attacks has increased. The speaker attributes the activation to the Russians' ability to produce missiles.

This suggests that the enemy may have had a certain pause in the spring and accumulated a stockpile of missiles somewhere. Because, unfortunately, they are producing them," he added.

We shall remind you that the enemy attacked Ukraine on the night of 29 May and continued shelling during the day. In particular, a series of explosions ripped through the capital. According to preliminary information, one person was hospitalized as a result of the daytime attack.
