This footage shows a Russian warship in the Black Sea launching a salvo of missiles towards targets in Ukraine.
Newsflash obtained the video from the Ministry of Defence (MoD) of the Russian Federation yesterday (Sunday, 12th June).
The Russian MoD said (in English): “Black Sea Fleet frigate crew conducts a salvo launch of four Kalibr cruise missiles at Ukraine’s military infrastructure from the Black Sea.”
The Kalibr is a family of Russian cruise missiles developed by the Novator Design Bureau, which is headquartered in Yekaterinburg. It entered service in 1994.
The Russian MoD did not specify what was hit in the strikes or where they took place.
In its latest briefing (today), the Russian MoD said (in English): “In total, 201 Ukrainian airplanes and 130 helicopters, 1,196 unmanned aerial vehicles, 338 anti-aircraft missile systems, 3,525 tanks and other armored combat vehicles, 515 multiple launch rocket systems, 1,933 field artillery and mortars, as well as 3,583 units of special military vehicles were destroyed during the operation.”
Russia invaded Ukraine on 24th February in what the Kremlin is calling a “special military operation” to “liberate the Donbass”. The invasion is now in its 110th day.
