The Ukrainian Air Force explained the reason of the latest air raid as training flights of Russian bombers with simulated cruise missile launches.
This was reported on Telegram of the Air Forces, according to Ukrinform.
"Tu-22m3 long-range bombers, which took off from the Mozdok airfield (North Caucasus), probably conducted training flights with simulated cruise missile launches. At the same time, enemy tactical aviation and rocket artillery (possibly S-300) were operating in the Zaporizhzhia sector. The information is being clarified," the statement said.
As Ukrinform reported earlier, on Monday, the Air Forces warned of the possibility of launching X-22 cruise missiles from the Sea of Azov. Air alert was declared in a number of regions.
