Russia has launched its largest ever missile attack against western Ukraine and specifically, the regions of Lviv, Lutsk and Volyn with the blasts rocking border Polish villages.
Eyewitnesses reported that the area was in turmoil for over two hours!
Ukrainian air defense can no longer protect strategic targets
In particular, one video shows four Russian missiles one after the other bombarding the Ukrainian Yuzhmash factory, a critical manufacturer for the Ukrainian military. Ukrainian air defenses never appeared.
In addition, the Swedish giant SKF, which specializes in the production of bearings, was also hit. A spokesman confirmed to AFP that three of his workers were killed in an attack that hit his factory last night in the Ukrainian city of Lutsk.
In Lutsk, a factory in Cherkasy Smela was also hit. According to the latest information, it is an electromechanical factory, where diesel and electric locomotives were repaired.
In addition, a factory for the production and repair of parts for aircraft engines was hit. In recent months, this company has received several orders from the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine for the repair and maintenance of AL-21F-3T engines, which are also used in Su-24 bombers. These aircraft are valuable to Kiev as they are modified to use Storm Shadow missiles.
Largest missile attack in Western Ukraine so far
Ukrainian media reported that according to the first information, today's attack is the largest air attack in the region of western Ukraine in Lviv, Lutsk, Volyn since Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
Russian Ministry of Defense: We hit strategic operations of the Ukrainian military industry
The armed forces of the Russian Federation tonight struck the strategic operations of the Ukrainian military industry with high-precision weapons from the air and from the sea, said Lieutenant General Igor Konashenkov, a spokesman for the Russian Ministry of Defense.
"The attack on the military-industrial facilities of Kiev was successful and all targets were hit.
As a result of the strikes, the military-industrial complex of Ukraine suffered significant damage."
Russians dismantle mercenary center in Pokrovsk: Dozens of Western officers dead (vid)
One of the most important command centers in eastern Ukraine, specifically in the city of Pokrovsk, was destroyed by the Russians with a double missile strike, hitting the Druzhbahotel, where hundreds of mercenaries and senior Ukrainian officials were at the time.
The number of Western mercenaries killed by the missile strikes is not known, but both the Russians and the Ukrainians report very heavy losses.
If the report of the Ukrainian Ministry of Internal Affairs is accepted, the dead exceed 67.
To understand the very important position of Pokrovsk, it is a city very close to Marinka and Gorlovka, the suburbs of Donetsk through which Ukrainians have been squeezing the large Russian-speaking city of 1 million inhabitants since 2014 until today.
Marinka has in fact become a very painful "thorn" for the Russians/Russian-speakers as despite the fact that it is now controlled (the ruins basically) by the Ukrainians at a rate of 15%, however they have not yet been expelled from there (the type A fortifications created there by the Ukrainians under the instructions of the Americans are dense and multi-layered).
The strike in Pokrovsk was carried out because the Russians had information about a large meeting between Western mercenaries, Western agents and Ukrainian officials.
At least 70 soldiers,including foreign ones,of the armed forces were injured during the attack of the #Russian army on the headquarters in the #Druzhbahotel in #Pokrovsk while an important #summit was taking place.The mercenaries are referred to as "cops" by the media
