The Russian military said on Sunday that it had launched a series of attacks on military targets in Ukraine using hypersonic and cruise missiles on Saturday night and Sunday morning.
In a statement released today, Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov said that sea-launched Kalibr cruise missiles were fired from the Caspian Sea, while air-launched Kinzhal hypersonic missile systems were fired from Russian airspace. Crimea.
Konashenkov said the missiles hit what he described as a large storage base for fuel and lubricants for the Ukrainian armed forces near the settlement of Kostyantynivka in Ukraine’s southern Mykolaiv region.
Konashenkov claimed that the site was used as a main supply and resupply base for Ukraine’s armed forces.
Separately, Konashenkov said that sea-launched Kalibr cruise missiles were fired from the Black Sea and hit a workshop for the repair of Ukrainian armored vehicles.
Konashenkov said the air-launched precision missiles hit what he described as a Ukrainian armed forces training center near the Ovruch settlement in the Zhytomyr region of northern Ukraine.
The Russian military claimed in that statement that dozens of Ukrainian special operations forces and “foreign mercenaries” – apparent shorthand for international volunteers heading to Ukraine – were killed.
THE CNN could not immediately verify any of these claims. The Ukrainian government also declined to comment on the information released.
US officials also confirmed to the CNN that Russia launched hypersonic missiles against Ukraine last week, the first known use of such missiles in combat.
