According to a statement by Yurii Ihnat, the spokesperson of the Air Forces Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, today, Kryvyi Rih in Ukraine was targeted in a Russian missile attack, with the likelihood of ballistic weaponry being used.
The exact type of missiles used by the aggressors can only be conclusively identified once debris is found. At that point, experts specialized in propulsion systems will be able to determine the type of munitions employed.
"It appears to be ballistic missiles, based on preliminary data. As we know, ballistic weaponry poses a severe threat due to its high speed and destructive capabilities. We must wait until the rocket remnants are located before making a final determination," Ihnat stated.
