The Prosecutor General's Office says that a Kh-22 missile that hit an apartment block in Dnipro on Saturday can be launched by only one Russian unit – the 52nd Guards Heavy Bomber Aviation Regiment.

"According to preliminary information, a Kh-22 missile was used. This type of missile causes the greatest human casualties because a missile is extremely inaccurate and has a huge deviation. Therefore, the use of such a weapon on targets in densely populated areas is clearly a war crime. This type of missiles was used in Serhiyivka and Kremenchuk. It can be launched by only one Russian unit – the 52nd Guards Heavy Bomber Aviation Regiment," the Prosecutor General's Office posted on Telegram.
