The Russian military announced that it launched missiles at depots of "foreign weapons" of the Ukrainian armed forces.

"The Russian military conducted a coordinated strike with long-range guided weapons launched from warships against storage sites of foreign-made weapons and military equipment for the Ukrainian armed forces. The purpose of the strike was achieved, all targets were hit," Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov said today.

Images released by Russian defense television showed a warship launching a series of Kalibr long-range cruise missiles, along with several Ukrainian armored vehicles hit by artillery shells and guided missiles launched from Ka-52 helicopters.

The Ukrainian Air Force Command said on the same day that the Russian submarine launched four Kalibr cruise missiles, combined with four Shahed-136/131 suicide drones to attack targets in the east and south of the country. "All eight targets were intercepted by air defenses," the agency said.

Ukrainian authorities had earlier issued an air defense alert in a number of provinces including Sumy, Poltava, Kharkov, Kirovograd, Dnipro, Mykolaiv and Odessa. Some residents in Odessa reported hearing a loud explosion, but the cause was unclear.

Russia is conducting continuous raids to prevent Ukraine's counter-offensive, as well as to deplete the enemy's anti-aircraft ammunition, as they have to constantly fire expensive shells to deal with cheap missiles and UAVs.

Vadym Skibitsky, deputy head of Ukraine's Defense Intelligence Directorate, said last month that Russia was focusing on attacking strongholds and ammunition depots to disrupt the counterattack, instead of trying to destroy energy infrastructure as before.
