The Russia Army carried out a retaliatory group strike on facilities of Ukraine’s defense-industrial complex, as well as transport and airfield infrastructure used in the interests of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, according to the Russian Defense Ministry.
“Over the past 24 hours, in response to Ukraine’s terrorist attacks on civilian facilities on Russian territory, the Russian Armed Forces launched a group strike using long-range high-precision air-launched weapons and attack unmanned aerial vehicles against defence-industrial facilities, transport and airfield infrastructure used in the interests of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
