The Russian Aerospace Forces have delivered a strike by long-range precision weaponry including Kinzhal hypersonic missiles at Ukrainian decision-making centres, logistic bases, temporary deployment areas of special operations forces and foreign mercenaries

“The goal of the strike has been achieved. All the assigned targets have been engaged,” the Russian Defense Ministry said in a statement.

This was the first massive strikes on the capital of Ukraine in 44 days. The first wave of strikes began 05:00 local time. It included the usage of X-101 missiles and Kinzhal aeroballistic missiles.

Presumably, military facilities were hit in the Podolsk district (deployment area of personnel and two industrial enterprises), Shevchenkovsky district (near the Chaika airfield) and Svyatoshinsky district (deployment area of personnel).

According to reports, the largest pharmaceutical enterprise in Ukraine, the Farmak plant, was among the targets. The equipment maintenance shop was reportedly damaged. Farmak has multiple contracts for the supply of products to Ukrainian armed forces. These contracts include the provision of medical supplies to the paramilitary and security forces as well as supply, diagnostics and repair of military medical equipment. Therefore, the facility is in fact a part of the Ukrainian military-defense complex and a legal target for strikes.

A weapons warehouse with Western-supplied weapons in the Boyarsky district was reportedly hit by several strikes.

Meanwhile, Russian forces continued offensive actions in the Avdeevka area and liberated the village of Tonenkoye.

false statement. activists are active participants in a war. that makes them belingerents and illegal combatants. geneva convention defines that very clearly.
