MOSCOW April 28. 2024 (Saba) -The Russian Defense Ministry announced on Sunday that its forces carried out 35 strikes on Ukrainian energy facilities, military equipment factories, railway infrastructure, air defenses and ammunition stockpiles.
The ministry said in a statement that the strikes launched by Moscow during the period from April 20 to 27 came "in response to the attempts of the Kiev regime to destroy Russian energy and industrial facilities."
Ukrainian officials said Russia launched a missile attack on energy facilities in central and western Ukraine on Saturday, piling pressure on a faltering energy system as Kiev faces a shortage of air defenses.
The Russian Defense Ministry said the strikes were carried out using long-range precision weapons from the sea and air, including Kinjal hypersonic missiles and drones.
It said it had also targeted and shelled formations of Ukrainian troops. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Russia's attack on his country's energy sector with up to 34 missiles of various types targeted gas facilities important to EU supplies.
