Targets of overnight strikes included drone assembly sites, training centers, and weapons repair facilities, the Defense Ministry has said
The Russian military has said its forces carried out large-scale overnight strikes against Ukrainian defense industry sites, using drones and long-range precision-guided weapons.
Ukrainian officials also reported waves of missile and drone attacks across multiple cities, including the capital Kiev, as well as Lviv and Lutsk on Friday morning.
The barrage, which included air-, sea-, and land-based missiles as well as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), was a response to recent "terrorist acts" carried out by Kiev, Russia's Defense Ministry said on Friday.
Ukraine blew up railway bridges in Russia last week, derailing civilian and freight trains and killing at least seven and injuring over 120. Kiev also launched a coordinated drone strike on multiple Russian airbases, targeting long-range, nuclear-capable bombers stationed in Russia's north and far east. Moscow has claimed that most drones were intercepted and the aircraft targeted was damaged by not destroyed.
The targets of Russia's overnight strikes included "design bureaus, enterprises involved in production and repair of Ukraine's weapons and military equipment, workshops for the assembly of attack drones, flight training centers as well as warehouses of weapons and military equipment," the statement read. "The goal of the strike was achieved. All designated facilities were hit," the ministry said.
