The Russian army allegedly fired on civilian infrastructure in Ukraine. According to Ukrainian sources, the destinations were the cities of Kramatorsk, Zaporizhia and Kherson. There have been civilian casualties, the Armed Forces General Staff said.
In the past 24 hours, there have been seven Russian missile strikes, 18 airstrikes and more than 85 multiple missile strikes. According to Ukrainian sources, Russian forces are still concentrating on advances in the area of the city of Bakhmut in the Donetsk region. Civilian casualties were reported in attacks on civilian infrastructure in Kramatorsk, Zaporizhia and Kherson.
As reported, Russian air defense repelled a drone attack on the Crimean peninsula on Wednesday morning. “Air defense systems shot down two unmanned aerial vehicles over the sea near Belbek this morning,” Sevastopol Governor Mikhail Rasvozhayev told Telegram. Belbek is a Russian military airport that was repeatedly attacked by the Ukrainian army after the outbreak of war.
New hypersonic missile in action
Against the background of ongoing problems, Kremlin chief Vladimir Putin has commissioned the new hypersonic missile “Zirkon”. “I am sure that such a powerful weapon will allow us to reliably protect Russia from outside threats and protect our country’s international interests,” the 70-year-old said in a televised video link on Wednesday. The “Zirkon” missiles will be used on the frigate “Admiral Gorshkov”.
This belongs to Russia’s Northern Fleet and will be sent on a long voyage to the Atlantic and Indian Oceans to demonstrate the country’s naval power. The “Zirkon” has a range of more than 500 kilometers and is mainly used to fight ships. Its extremely high speed makes it practically unstoppable by anti-aircraft fire. According to Russian information, it can accelerate to 8,000 or 9,000 kilometers per hour.
