GENICHESK, January 20. /TASS/. Russian troops have intensified the bombardments of a Ukrainian navy base in Ochakov, Kherson Region Acting Governor Vladimir Saldo told TASS on Friday.

"Our military has increased the shelling of the enemy’s naval base in Ochakov, delivering surgical strikes on the locations of personnel, military equipment and weapons," he specified.

According to the official, due to this, lately, the adversary has been distracted from deploying an assault team in the Kinburn Spit. Nevertheless, according to intelligence, plans of such landings "continue to buzz around in the minds of the Kiev regime’s Western sponsors." "We will find out in advance about the intentions to implement them and, if necessary, [we] will deliver a crushing response," he asserted.
