First Russia launched the Shaheds and then the Kalibras to attack Ukraine.



A representative of the Air Force of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Yuriy Ignat, said this in a televised news marathon.

According to Ignat, Russia used three ships in the Black Sea and strategic bombers Tu-95 for the morning missile strike on Ukraine.

The military spokesman said that traditionally Russia first used Shaked drones to find weaknesses of the Ukrainian air defence. Also, according to preliminary information, six Kalibr cruise missiles were fired, five of which were shot down. Five of the seven Shaked drones were also shot down.

Russia then launched an attack from strategic aviation aircraft. 8 strategic aviation aircraft flew to the attack in Volgodonsk and the Caspian Sea area. A missile boat, a frigate and a submarine were involved in the Black Sea.

It is worth recalling that as of this morning, Russia carried out a massive missile strike on Ukraine. Explosions were heard in many of our country. Critical infrastructure was damaged. In addition, people were injured.

One of the occupants' missiles crossed the airspace of NATO member country Romania, according to Ukrainian military chief Valeriy Zaluzhnyy. Later, Romania issued a statement that the missile flew 35 km from their borders. However, Moldova confirmed the airspace violation.
