The occupiers have started using more strike drones: Ukrainian Defense Forces identify the reasons

Spokesman for the Defense Forces of South of Ukraine, Vladyslav Voloshyn, shared this information during a national telethon broadcast.

“The use of FPV drones, as well as reconnaissance drones, has increased significantly - almost doubling, and in some cases tripling. Additionally, the number of munitions used in artillery shelling has almost doubled,” Voloshyn noted.

He highlighted several possible reasons for this escalation. One key factor is the occupiers’ intention to seize the southern part of Donetsk Oblast and reach the administrative border with Dnipropetrovsk region.
