Quote: "The first wave of missiles is over. There may be several of them. As a rule, they can use several waves to disperse missiles across the territory of Ukraine and confuse the actions of the Ukrainian air defence."

Details: Ihnat added that missile launches had traditionally been conducted from the Black Sea and ships of the Black Sea Fleet, the Caspian Sea and the Volgodonsk area of Rostov Oblast of Russian Federation.

Updated at 15:10: Vitalii Kim, the Head of Mykolaiv Oblast Military Administration, reported that the second wave of missile attacks began. In his opinion, there will be three such waves.

Background: On the afternoon of 5 December, explosions rocked Odesa, Vinnytsia, Zaporizhzhia, as well as Cherkasy and Kyiv oblasts. There are problems with electricity and water supply in some oblasts.
