The offensive began with the launch of Shahed drones, followed by "more serious" weapons. "There were launches of their [Russian] strategic bomber missiles Kh-101, Kh-555 from Saratov Oblast," Yevlash explained.
"Then they simultaneously struck with Kinzhals from the territory of Tambov Oblast."
The Russian military is now accumulating missiles for future attacks, Yevlash added.
"Lately, Russians have been using their S-300 air defense systems to hit the frontline areas," Yevlash noted. "We saw yesterday's terrible attack on one of the shopping centers in Kharkiv Oblast, which resulted in the deaths of civilians."
