According to the head of the <strong data-start=\"898\" data-end=\"932\">Mykolaiv Regional Military Administration Vitalii Kim<\/strong>, the reason is not the occupiers&#8217; \u201cgood intentions\u201d, but the region&#8217;s geography and the work of Ukrainian air defense.\u00a0About this <strong data-start=\"1052\" data-end=\"1067\">Vitalii Kim<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=9bxcpn2wI3A\">said<\/a> <strong data-start=\"1075\" data-end=\"1087\">May 6<\/strong>, 2026 on the air of <strong data-start=\"1096\" data-end=\"1113\">\u201cNovyny.Live\u201d<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1116\" data-end=\"1343\">The head of the region explained that for strikes with KABs Russian aviation needs to approach at a distance dangerous for them. In the case of <strong data-start=\"1247\" data-end=\"1263\">Mykolaiv<\/strong>, this creates a risk for carrier aircraft, since they can be reached by Ukrainian <strong data-start=\"1335\" data-end=\"1342\">air defense<\/strong>. According to <strong data-start=\"1356\" data-end=\"1364\">Kim<\/strong>, the Russians had previously tried to use such munitions against the oblast, but there were only a few cases. <strong data-start=\"1475\" data-end=\"1490\">Vitalii Kim<\/strong> noted that currently the use of KABs against the <strong data-start=\"1533\" data-end=\"1558\">Mykolaiv Oblast<\/strong> is not being recorded.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"quote-light\">\n<p data-start=\"1575\" data-end=\"1847\">\u201cThe use of KABs in Mykolaiv Oblast is absent. They tested KABs on us quite a long time ago, there were a couple to a few. This is due to the geographical location \u2013 it&#8217;s difficult to approach, our air defense can reach carriers of KABs. Therefore, for two months KABs have not been used in Mykolaiv,\u201d Kim said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p data-start=\"1849\" data-end=\"2090\">At the same time, the situation in the oblast remains dangerous: Russian forces continue to attack <strong data-start=\"1942\" data-end=\"1958\">Mykolaiv<\/strong> with drones, missiles, artillery and other means of destruction. Therefore, the absence of KAB strikes does not mean the threat to the region has disappeared.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Reminder: earlier we wrote:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: disc\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/korabelov.info\/en\/2026\/03\/577600\/kim-assessed-the-threat-of-kabs-to-mykolaiv-and-explained-which-weapons-the-russian-federation-uses-to-reach-the-city\/\">Kim assessed the threat of KABs to Mykolaiv and explained which weapons Russia uses to reach the city<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/korabelov.info\/2026\/01\/567724\/drony-imitatory-ta-aviabomby-v-lyman-iak-mynula-doba-na-mykolaivshchyni-pid-obstrilom-okupantiv\/\">Decoy drones and aerial bombs in Lyman: how the day unfolded in Mykolaiv Oblast under occupier shelling<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/korabelov.info\/2025\/12\/564437\/mykolaiv-ta-oblast-pid-vorozhym-vohnem-aviabomby-roznesly-sklad-z-humanitarkoiu-ie-poranenyj\/\">KABs and artillery on Mykolaiv region: a warehouse with &#8220;humanitarian aid&#8221; damaged; one injured<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/korabelov.info\/2025\/10\/557760\/dalnist-do-200-km-nova-zahroza-nad-mistamy-ukrainy-hur-pro-hrim-1-2\/\">Range up to 200 km \u2014 a new threat over Ukrainian cities: GUR on Russia&#8217;s new bombs<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/korabelov.info\/2025\/04\/537565\/vpershe-za-dovhyj-chas-rosiiany-ne-atakuvaly-ukrainu-dronamy-natomist-byly-aviabombamy-po-trokh-oblastiakh\/\">For the first time in a long time: Russians did not attack Ukraine with drones; instead they used aerial bombs in three oblasts<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vitaliy Kim said that the Russians have not used KABs against the Mykolaiv region for about two months.
