The head of the Dnipropetrovsk regional administration, Valentyn Reznichenko, said the airport in the central-eastern Ukrainian city of Dnipro was destroyed in a Russian attack. He didn’t provide many details about what happened.
“And another attack on Dnipro airport,” he said. “There’s nothing left. The airport and nearby infrastructure were destroyed. But the rockets keep flying.”
Reznichenko said information about casualties at the scene was still being clarified.
The airport was previously hit by Russian forces. Reznichenko said on March 15 that a Russian missile strike had left the runway disused and damaged a terminal. Ukrainian lawmaker Lesia Vasylenko said on Twitter that the latest attack “does not leave any infrastructure and destroys everything around the airport.”
“A pity, as the airport was completely renovated last year. All investments and all efforts were completely destroyed.” Russia denies any kind of attack on Ukrainian civilians.
On Sunday, according to the Russian Defense Ministry, it said the country’s soldiers carried out missile attacks in the Ukrainian regions of Dnipropetrovsk, Mykolaiv and Kharkiv.
“During the night in the village of Zvonetske – Dnipropetrovsk region – high-precision maritime missiles destroyed the headquarters and base of the Dnipro nationalist battalion, where reinforcements from foreign mercenaries arrived the other day,” said the Defense Ministry spokesman. Russian, Maj. General Igor Konashenkov said in a statement.
“High-precision air-launched missiles in the area of Stara Bohdanivka settlement, Mykolaiv region and Chuhuiv military airfield [na região de Kharkiv] destroyed launchers of Ukrainian S-300 anti-aircraft missile systems identified by reconnaissance.”
THE CNN could not immediately verify these claims.
The Russian military routinely claims it is targeting “foreign mercenaries” and “nationalist” formations in Ukraine as part of its public relations messages around the war in Ukraine and denies attacking civilian infrastructure.
