Russian Airfields Hit With Secretly Delivered U.S. Missiles

Ukraine reportedly attacked two Russian airfields on Tuesday with long-range ballistic missiles covertly sent from the United States in recent days.

The country’s special forces said they destroyed nine Russian helicopters, an anti-aircraft missile system, and a warehouse filled with ammunition in eastern Ukraine, according to the BBC. Dozens of Russian troops were injured or killed in what Ukraine dubbed “Operation Dragonfly.”

Ukraine’s military communication department made an announcement on Tuesday on Telegram, saying it had “made well-aimed strikes on enemy airfields and helicopters near the temporarily occupied Luhansk and Berdyansk.” They stated that the missiles hit Berdyansk at 4 a.m. local time and Luhansk at 11 a.m. local time.
