Russia may be preparing strikes on sacred dates": Humeniuk on the threat on Independence Day

The Russian Federation continues to increase the presence of missile carriers in the Black Sea. It is likely that the enemy will create tension and may launch attacks following its pattern of reacting on sacred dates. 

This was reported by Spokesperson of the Joint Coordination Press Office of the Defense Forces of South of Ukraine, Natalia Humeniuk, during a telethon.

"Currently, there are two missile carriers in the Black Sea - a small missile ship and a submarine. In such a scenario, the total salvo of 'Kalibr' missiles amounts to 12 missiles, which makes the level of missile threat extremely high. It is essential to respond promptly to air raid alerts and not disregard warnings," she noted. 

Humeniuk emphasized that launches from submarines are very difficult to detect, so there is not an hour, but several minutes to respond.
