KYIV: Ukraine said Friday it had launched a missile strike one day earlier on the western Belgorod region targeting air defense systems and damaging military radars.
\nKyiv has stepped up its cross border drone and missile attacks on Russian territory and said this week it had launched its largest barrage of the war on military sites and energy installations over the border.
\nThe Ukrainian General Staff wrote on social media that missile units had carried out \u201cprecision strikes\u201d on Russian military targets in Belgorod, which borders Ukraine.
\nIt said it had attacked air defense systems under the 568th anti-aircraft missile regiment and claimed that an S-400 radar had been damaged alongside equipment linked to another brigade.
\nThere was no immediate response from Moscow to the claims, which could not be verified by AFP.
\nMoscow in turn has been targeting Ukrainian energy facilities and this week launched dozens of missiles and drones at sites mainly in western Ukraine near the border with Poland.
\nKyiv said Friday that its air defense systems had shot down 33 Russian drones over 11 Ukrainian region at night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
