On July 4, the Russian military launched a significant attack on Ukrainian territory, firing 550 drones and missiles, including the Kinzhal and Iskander types. Debris from these attacks was reported in five districts of the capital. According to the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), components of Chinese origin were found in the Russian drones that attacked the city, reports 24brussels.
In June, Russia increased the number of rockets and drones fired at Ukraine by 1.6 times. The production of rockets and drones has been ramped up, and the number of military personnel involved in the conflict has been steadily increasing, reported Oleksandr Syrskyi, the Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, on Facebook.
Syrskyi emphasized that the Ukrainian Defense Forces are forced to employ both symmetrical and asymmetrical tactics while searching for new solutions to counter Russian forces.
“Our soldiers are bravely holding off enemy advances, accurately destroying personnel and equipment while effectively striking military and logistical targets deep within Russian territory, thereby systematically weakening its production capabilities,” Syrskyi noted.
During June, the Ukrainian Defense Forces conducted 115 long-range strikes, with Ukrainian drones hitting approximately four thousand targets.
