MOSCOW (Sputnik) – The Russian armed forces have destroyed a depot with Storm Shadow cruise missiles in Ukraine's Khmelnytskyi region, the Russian Defense Ministry said on Saturday.
"On June 23, a warehouse with Storm Shadow cruise missiles was destroyed at a Ukrainian airbase near the village of Starokostyantyniv, Khmelnytsky region, in response to a strike on a road bridge over the Chongar Strait," the ministry said in a statement.
The ministry added that over the past day Kiev lost more than 170 service people in unsuccessful offensive attempts in the South Donetsk and Zaporozhye directions.
