Russia increasing intensity of glide bomb and FPV drone strikes on southern front – Voloshyn

Spokesperson for the Defense Forces of the South Vladyslav Voloshyn reported this on air, according to an Ukrinform correspondent.

“The number of uses of these specific types of weapons, in particular, glide bombs, is growing daily,” the spokesperson emphasized.

According to Voloshyn, nearly 30 bomb strikes, targeting Ukrainian positions and settlements along the frontline, were recorded over the past day.

“If 3–4 weeks ago we were talking about 600–700 drones in the south, now it’s already 1,000–1,200. So, the number has increased quite significantly,” he explained.

The spokesperson noted that Russian forces are using glide bombs to destroy Ukrainian positions, shelters, and civilian infrastructure, creating a “kill zone” — an area without protective structures.

As reported by Ukrinform, on October 23, a total of 120 combat engagements occurred between Ukrainian Defense Forces and Russian troops, with the highest enemy activity reported in the Pokrovsk sector of the front.
