The Russian defense ministry also said it killed
more than 100 members of Ukrainian special forces and “foreign mercenaries”
when it targeted a training center in the town of Ovruch in northern Ukraine
with sea-based missiles.
“Kinzhal aviation missile systems with hypersonic
ballistic missiles destroyed a large storage site for fuels and lubricants of
the Ukrainian armed forces near the settlement of Kostyantynivka in the
Mykolaiv region,” the defence ministry said.
The ministry said the base had been used for the
main supplies of fuel for Ukrainian armored vehicles in the country’s south.
The Kinzhal (Dagger) hypersonic missiles were fired
from airspace over Russian-controlled Crimea, the ministry said, adding that
Kalibr cruise missiles launched from the Caspian Sea had also targeted the
depot.
On Saturday, Russia said it had used the Kinzhal
hypersonic missiles to destroy an underground missile and ammunition storage
site in western Ukraine close to the border with
NATO member Romania.
The Ukrainian armed forces confirmed to AFP on
Saturday that the depot had been targeted but said they had “no information of
the type of missile.”
Russian analysts said the use Friday of the Kinzhal
hypersonic missiles in Deliatyn, a village in the foothills of the Carpathian
mountains, was the first combat use of such weapons in the world.
The Russian defense ministry said that it also used
long-range precision weapons against other facilities in
Ukraine on Saturday
evening and early Sunday.
Russian forces fired the Kalibr missiles from the
Black Sea to target a plant in the northern city of Nizhyn used to repair
armored vehicles, the ministry said.
