It is said that since the first months of the conflict, Russia had not fired hypersonic Kinzhal missiles that could avoid air defense.
The last hail was the worst to hit Ukraine for weeks, which cut off the energy of the Zaporizhja nuclear power plant in Europe even though it was later renovated.
Russian Defence Ministry spokesman Igor Konasenkov said on Thursday: “Long-range action with high accuracy air, sea and land precision, including the hypersonic system Kinzhal, hit key elements of Ukraine's” military infrastructure.
This was the biggest day of Russian attacks in Ukraine since late January.
The Ukrainian Army claimed it had successfully crashed 34 sailing missiles and four Shahed drones produced by Iran.
But she also said she had not been able to catch six Kinzhal Ruse missiles, nor was she able to destroy old weapons, such as missiles against Kh-22 ships and S-300 anti-aircraft missiles.
“This was a major attack and for the first time with so many different kinds of rockets”, Reuters news agency quoted a Ukrainian air force spokesman as saying. “was as never before”.
