The intensity of shelling has sharply increased in the Kupiansk direction: is the enemy preparing a new offensive

According to hvylya.net: The Kupiansk direction is hot due to artillery shelling and drone attacks, but assaults have decreased. Senior Lieutenant Valery Kiselev from the 116th Separate Mechanized Brigade says this may be preparation for a new attack.

'Shelling is increasing, assaults are decreasing. Artillery is covering everything, drones are actively working as before an assault. This is classic preparation for an attack,' Kiselev explained.

The officer added that enemy artillery is actively shelling their brigade's positions, and the enemy is using a tactic of infiltrating the rear to attack groups of 5 to 10 people.

'Our drones are already detecting them several hours before the attack. We eliminate them instantly as soon as they concentrate,' Kiselev said.

Moreover, the officer emphasized the important role of unmanned systems in modern combat. He noted that without drones it is difficult to predict enemy actions, which is why they have become a necessary element of military strategy.

In the combat zone in the Kupiansk direction, the intensity of enemy artillery shelling and drone attacks has significantly increased, which may indicate preparation for a new offensive. Ukrainian military continues to identify and eliminate threats from enemy groups, using drones as an important element of their defense strategy.
