Russia says it downed 10 US-supplied missiles over Crimea as Blinken visits Kyiv
Russia’s Defence Ministry said it has shot down 10 US-supplied Ukrainian missiles targeting Crimea just as US secretary of state Antony Blinken was visiting Kyiv.
The ministry said 10 US-supplied Ukrainian ATACMS missiles were destroyed over the Black Sea over Crimea.
Sevastopol Governor Mikhail Razvozhayev said air defences shot down several Ukrainian missiles over the Black Sea and near the Belbek air base.
The fragments of downed missiles fell into residential areas but caused no casualties, Mr Razvozhayev said.
The Defence Ministry said that in other Ukrainian attacks, Russian air defences also shot down nine Ukrainian drones, two Vilha rockets, two anti-radar Harm missiles and two Hammer guided bombs over the Belgorod region early on Wednesday.
Belgorod Governor Vuacheslav Gladkov said two people were injured in the village of Dubovoye when a Ukranian rocket set their house ablaze.
The military said five other Ukrainian drones were downed over the Kursk region and three drones were shot down over the Bryansk region.
