The enemy is attempting to disorient the Ukrainian air defenses by launching Shahed UAVs at low altitudes.

Mykhailo Shamanov, a spokesman for the Kyiv City Military Administration, said this on Ukrainian television, Ukrinform reports.

“Shaheds enter at low altitudes and attempt to circle in some areas, attracting the attention of mobile [fire] groups. The main goal is to confuse the air defense forces as much as possible. They try to make the mobile groups move, thereby creating a corridor for themselves,” Shamanov said.
