This was reported by Natalia Humeniuk, head of the Joint Press Center of the South Operational Command, on Espreso.

"All signs indicate that the Russian occupiers are preparing for active actions in the Black Sea. As the ship grouping was doubled last night and this morning another unit was added. Now Russia's ship grouping amounts to 16 units, including 6 missile carriers," she emphasized.

At night, the South Operational Command wrote that Russia had increased its naval grouping in the Black Sea to 15 units. In particular, 6 missile carriers are on standby, 2 of them are submarines. At maximum equipment, the total volley of Kalibr missiles can reach 40 rockets.

The Operational Command says the threat of a missile strike is extremely high.

"Although it is likely that not all missile launchers are armed, airborne alarms should be treated responsibly and responded to promptly. In search of ways to put pressure on the civilian population of Ukraine and imaginary victories to justify propaganda "news" to its own consumers, Russia may conduct point or mixed missile strikes using missiles of various types of basing and kamikaze drones," the South Command wrote.

Ukrainians were urged to be focused and vigilant. Not to panic, but to listen and believe in victory.
