Russian troops rained cruise missiles and aerial bombs on Ukraine simultaneously – South Forces Group

On the night of October 21, Russian forces used "complex tactics of very mixed attacks", says spox of the South Forces Group Nataliia Humeniuk.

Ukraine's Air Force repelled this night's attack of cruise missiles and guided aerial bombs launched simultaneously.

Humeniuk states the military hasn't seen such tactics yet. The Air Force has tracked an increase in tactical aircraft activity.

This is definitely an attempt to launch a missile strike as efficiently as possible for themselves, since they know that we cannot down guided bombs, she stated.

Humeniuk said that the increase in the number of attacks in the south was reasoned by fears of Ukraine's advance all over the frontline.

The enemy continues to use them quite massively. If the Russians used 15 guided bombs during daylight hours, they increased the number to 25 at night, meaning that 10 more bombs were launched.

On the night of October 21, Russian troops shelled central and southern regions of Ukraine using cruise and ballistic missiles and attack drones.

On the evening of October 20, Russians hit a residential area in the suburbs of Kryvyi Rih, killing one and injuring one.
