He said this on Espreso. 

“The enemy is using aircraft to attack Ukrainian positions and civilian cities in the Siversk direction. They have increased their attacks with guided bombs and FAB-500 bombs. In Siversk, some bombs hit a hospital, causing civilian casualties. The enemy mistakenly believes the hospital is the Ukrainian troops' headquarters,” he said. 

The serviceman added that the enemy is carrying out attacks with the support of heavy equipment.

“The enemy also launches attacks with heavy equipment, including tanks. Sometimes they send a group of 5-6 tanks to attack our positions, later reinforced by additional units. Our soldiers manage to disable two or three tanks, forcing the enemy to retreat,” he stated.
