Russia mentioned on Sunday that it hit air bases in western Ukraine‘s Khmelnytskyi and Rivne areas.
“Last night, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation launched a group strike with long-range air- and sea-based precision weapons against Armed Forces of Ukraine air bases close to Starokostiantyniv (Khmelnytskyi region) and Dubno (Rivne region),” mentioned a press release by the Defense Ministry.
The assertion mentioned that the target of the air strikes “has been reached,” including that every one the assigned objects “are hit.”
Yuriy Ihnat, the spokesman for the Ukrainian Air Force, confirmed the assault on the nation’s nationwide telethon United News, saying that this was not the primary time Russia tried to assault the air base.
“There is a permanent base of the tactical aviation brigade. But, in the current conditions, I want to say that our aviation is quite mobile. Our aviators, pilots and everyone who provides flights know how to counter the enemy in these conditions. We have dozens of operational airfields throughout the country. Therefore, it won’t be so easy for the enemy to destroy our aviation,” Ihnat additional mentioned.
Independent verification of Russia and Ukraine’s claims is tough as a result of ongoing battle.
