Miroshnik pointed out that in the last few days, Ukrainian drone strikes targeted civilian cars, residential buildings and people in the street. "The number of casualties among civilians increased due to stepping on explosive devices. The militants remotely plant explosives at civilian objects and in crowded areas.
