“A stockpile of Harpoon missiles that Ukraine received from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) member countries, stored in an industrial warehouse in Odessa, was destroyed by long-range, high-precision air-to-surface missiles”, said the military entity.

Another attack launched by Russian airborne troops, according to the Ministry, caused up to 200 fatalities at a base of the 92nd Mechanized Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the city of Chuguev, Kharkov province.

For his part, the governor of the Russian province of Bryansk, Alexandr Bogomaz, reported this Sunday that Ukrainian forces bombed the Russian border town of Ziórnovo without causing any fatalities among the civilian population.

Bogomaz from his Telegram channel specified the Ukrainian troops fired 29 projectiles as a result of the bombardment, and stressed that Russian operational services are working on the spot.

The authorities of several Russian provinces bordering Ukraine have not stopped denouncing the destabilizing situation that caused flights to and from Bryansk and ten other cities in the south of the European part of Russia to remain suspended since the beginning of the special military operation on Ukrainian territory.

Previously, Moscow recognized the independence and sovereignty of both territories and signed treaties of friendship, cooperation and mutual assistance with their leaders, which included the establishment of diplomatic relations and military aid.

In his speech to inform about the beginning of the operation, Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that the objective is to protect the population of Donbass from the abuses and genocide of kyiv during the last eight years, in addition to “demilitarizing” and ” denazify” Ukraine.
