The enemy continues to attack the south with missiles, having yet to achieve their set objectives – Humeniuk

The southern regions of Ukraine remain under a high threat level of missile attacks from the russian occupying forces, as they have yet to achieve their set objectives.

Natalia Humeniuk, Head of the Joint Coordinating Press Center of the Defence Forces of the South of Ukraine, reported this on the air of the national TV marathon.

"They intended to review the grain agreement in their favour, so that they have the prerogative, the domination in the Black Sea, and the incidental easing of sanctions," Humeniuk emphasised.

According to her, there remains one missile carrier in the Black Sea. The spokeswoman warned that the occupiers resorted to a tactic of attacking Ukraine from a bay without taking the missile carrier into combat duty.

According to the spokeswoman of the Operational Command South, the russians have previously used a similar tactic of attacking Ukraine directly from a bay without bringing the missile carrier into combat duty in the open sea.

Background. Recall that last night, the enemy attacked Odessa Oblast with 5 types of missiles, engaging Kalibr, Oniks, Kh-22 and two modifications of Iskander ballistic missiles, with a significant portion of them being shot down.

One of the central squares in Odessa was devastated by a hit of a russian missile, destroying a cathedral of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (moscow Patriarchate). Two architectural landmarks were damaged as well.
