“In retaliation to the Kiev regime’s attempts to inflict damage on Russia’s energy facilities, the Russian Armed Forces delivered a combined strike this morning by seaborne and air-launched long-range precision weapons, Kinzhal aero-ballistic hypersonic missile systems and unmanned aerial vehicles against Ukrainian energy sites and military-industrial enterprises,” Russia’s Defense Ministry said in a statement reported by TASS.
The strikes achieved their goal, and “substantially degraded Ukraine’s capabilities for rolling out military products and deploying Western-made armaments and military equipment to the line of combat engagement,” the ministry added.
