Russian air defense units intercepted and destroyed a missile fired by the Kiev regime forces at the Crimean Bridge on Friday afternoon.
According to Russia’s Ministry of Defense, Ukrainian forces used an S-200 surface-to-air missile converted into a surface-to-surface variant in order to carry out this strike.
"The Ukrainian missile was detected in time and destroyed by Russian air defense units," the ministry said in a statement, adding that no casualties or damage were caused by this Ukrainian attack.
Crimea’s Governor Sergey Aksenov later wrote online that another Ukrainian missile was shot down by Russian air defense systems in the vicinity of the Crimean Bridge.
Meanwhile, Russia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has announced that Kiev’s attempts to attack the Crimean Bridge will not be left unanswered.
