The Russian Ministry of Defense announced a group strike with high-precision long-range air-launched weapons, as well as attack unmanned aerial vehicles, against the Kiev regime’s storage sites for Storm Shadow cruise missiles, ammunition with depleted uranium, as well as centers for radio reconnaissance and training of sabotage groups of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
“The target of the strike has been achieved. All objects were hit,” said Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov.
