MOSCOW, Aug. 29 — Russian forces have carried out a group strike against Ukraine’s military-industrial enterprises and airbases, the Russian Defense Ministry said Thursday.
The strike involves long-range high-precision air-launched weapons, including Kinzhal hypersonic aeroballistic missiles, as well as combat drones, the ministry said in a statement.
“The targets of the strike were achieved, and all designated objectives were hit,” it said. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said earlier in the day on social media that Russia had launched “another massive attack against our cities and communities,” adding that at least eight people were killed and dozens injured.
Ukraine’s Air Force said Russia launched 598 combat and decoy drones overnight, as well as 31 missiles. Ukrainian air defenses intercepted 563 drones and 26 missiles, while hits were recorded at 13 locations, and debris from falling targets fell at 26 locations. (Xinhua)
