Russia prepares for more targeted strikes - Gumenyuk

The Russian army continues to prepare for missile attacks. The enemy might launch targeted strikes against Ukraine in the near future, the head of the United Press Centre of the Defence Forces in southern Ukraine, Nataliya Humenyuk, said during a TV marathon.

She drew attention to the number of missile carriers on combat duty in the Black Sea, including submarines. In her opinion, their presence in the sea indicates that the enemy is preparing for a new missile attack.

What it will be depends on the tactics the enemy commanders choose, because they have already understood that massive attacks are not the result they expect. It's high costs and low returns. Therefore, they are likely to use point attacks the way they did in the Kremenchuk area," the speaker said.

Humenyuk said that in case of point attacks, the enemy raises aviation in the air and also keeps missile launchers on standby in the sea.

This is how the occupiers are trying to confuse the Ukrainian air defence by diverting attention," she explained.

Humenyuk urged Ukrainians not to disregard the alerts.

We would like to point out that on Sunday morning, 5 March, the Russian occupiers launched two surface ships and two underwater cruise missile carriers into the Black Sea.
