The Air Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces noted that various missiles were launched towards Dnipro from Russian territory. In particular, the intercontinental ballistic missile 'Rubizh' was fired from the Astrakhan region.
No additional information regarding the details of Russia's missile attack on Ukraine was provided, stated the acting head of the communications department of the Ukrainian Armed Forces Air Forces, Yuri Ignat.
