Russia said yesterday that Ukraine had struck a military airfield on the Azov Sea with six US-made ATACMS ballistic missiles, a move that could prompt Moscow to launch another experimental intermediate-range hypersonic missile at Ukraine.
Russia’s defence ministry said two of the missiles fired by Ukraine were shot down by a Pantsir missile-defence system and the rest were destroyed by electronic warfare.
