It confirmed that the attacks targeted sites involved in the production and maintenance of equipment and weapons used by Ukrainian forces.
In a statement, the ministry explained that the strikes were carried out using high-precision weapons and drones. It indicated that all designated targets were successfully hit. This comes as part of ongoing military operations that Moscow says are targeting Ukrainian military infrastructure.
In response, Ukrainian authorities announced the activation of air defense systems to counter the attacks. They also confirmed that the capital, Kyiv, and several other regions were subjected to airstrikes in recent hours. Emergency teams are currently assessing the extent of the damage to the targeted sites.
