Today, in the evening, Russian cruise missiles were launched in the direction of the Ivano-Frankivsk, Lviv and Ternopil regions of Ukraine.
At least six Tu-95 strategic bombers took off from Russian territory in the direction to Ukraine.
It is already known that military depots in Ternopil have been hit.
The local military administration asks the citizens of Ukraine not to publish pictures and videos of the aftermath of the strike. In the video footage, it is particularly amazing how ordinary Ukrainians (voice-over) are having fun.
An air alert was also declared in Kiev. It is reported that Kiev’s air defense systems are operating right now on targets. Explosions are heard in the northern part of the Ukrainian capital.
At this moment, the Russian Air Force’s front-line aviation is striking concentrations of Ukrainian troops and military equipment near the front line.
The Russian Defense Ministry reports that artillery, operational and tactical aviation forces have hit 114 areas of concentration of AFU troops and military equipment in the past 24 hours.
In recent days, strikes on the rears of the AFU and key Ukrainian military and transport infrastructure facilities have turned into systematic actions.
On the night of May 12-13, ammunition depots of the AFU near the town of Khmelnitsky were hit. The targets were hit with tremendous explosions visible dozens of kilometers away from the point of impact. As a result of the strike, the 649th airborne ammunition and missile storage facility of the AFU (Gruzevitsa village, Khmelnitsky region) was completely destroyed. According to available information, the cost of the ammunition destroyed in Khmelnitsky is about $500 million.
Earlier, the main warehouses of the Prydniprovsky Chemical Plant in Pavlograd had been hit. As a result, the Russian Air Force destroyed a huge amount of explosives and inflicted casualties on AFU servicemen stationed at the site.
