Moscow blames Kiev for attacks on military airfields

The Russian army confirmed that three soldiers were killed and four others were hospitalized with injuries. However, the long-range bombers were only slightly damaged, partly due to the use of anti-aircraft fire. In the afternoon, Russia launched another heavy missile attack on Ukraine. While Kiev subsequently announced that most of the missiles had been intercepted, Moscow declared the attack successful. “The target of the blow has been achieved. All 17 named targets were hit.” The information cannot be independently verified.
