Russia Fires More Than 85 Missiles into Ukraine, Almost Matching February 24th Numbers
The Ukrainian Air Force has told press that more than eighty five air-launched cruise missiles and Kalibr cruise missiles were launched from long range aviation (LRA) and Black Sea Fleet surface and sub-surface combatants today. On February 24th, the initial day of the Russian invasion, their Armed Forces launched about one hundred cruise missiles against Ukrainian air defense systems. However, today's strikes carried out a much more sinister objective, to neutralize the Ukrainian energy infrastructure. Missiles struck civilian energy infrastructure and residences throughout Ukraine with the most severe strikes being in Kyiv, Chrasky, Mykolaiv, Kryvyi Rih, Odessa, Kharkiv, and Lyiv.
