Fighters of the air defense (PVO) of the Russian Vostok group shot down several guided aerial bombs that were aimed at civilian targets in the Dnipropetrovsk region. This was announced on February 26 by the Russian Defense Ministry.

According to the ministry, the air defense systems on duty recorded timely launches of guided aerial bombs and flights of enemy reconnaissance drones in the area of a special military operation (SVO).

He stressed that the information about the target was received in a timely manner. As a result, a guided aerial bomb aimed at civilian targets was destroyed during regular duty.

"Our calculation is constantly working. <...> We receive coordinates from our operators, we work on enemy targets. The signal quality is stable, <...> it allows us to perform all the assigned tasks," said a soldier of the Vostok group of forces with the call sign Tuman.
