Operational Command South's press center head Natalia Humeniuk says that the occupying Russian forces are actively using aviation to hit civilian objects with guided bombs and missiles in southern Ukraine

She said this on Espreso TV. 

“The Russian forces' tactic is that their jets do not approach. They use guided bombs, including missiles. But they have fewer missiles and cannot use them as actively as guided bombs,” explained Humeniuk.

According to the Operational Command South's press center, the occupying troops are trying to attack civilian objects in the frontline regions.

“Terrorists are trying to oppress the frontline regions so that the local population realizes that they would be better off with the 'Russian world'. This conviction does not work, except for the emergence of a strong resistance in the souls of Ukrainians. The Russians are trying to use protective radar equipment to keep their aircraft intact,” added Humeniuk.
