Ukraine said Friday it had shot down a full barrage of 13 cruise missiles fired by Russian forces overnight at an airbase in the country’s west.
According to the Ukrainian air force, on June 23, thirteen of the occupiers’ cruise missiles were destroyed. The strike this time was directed at a military airfield in the Khmelnytskyi region.
Over the winter, Russia unleashed waves of aerial attacks using cruise missiles and attack drones, forcing Kyiv to call on its Western allies to strengthen its air defence systems.
In a statement, the air force stated, “The launches were carried out around midnight from the Caspian Sea from four Tu-95MS bombers”.
Oleksandr Symchyshyn, the mayor of Khmelnytskyi, reported explosions in the town with a pre-war population of roughly 275,000 and hailed Ukrainian air defence systems.
Ukraine also claimed to have shot down a Russian reconnaissance drone over the night.
