Ukrinform
On the night of August 27, 2023, Ukraine’s Air Force destroyed four Russian cruise missiles over central and northern regions.
The relevant statement was made by the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on Telegram, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.
In particular, last night Russia attacked Ukraine’s territory with Kh-101, Kh-55 and Kh-555 air-launched cruise missiles.
Five strategic aircraft fired the missiles from Russia’s airspace near Engels.
Initially, up to eight enemy air targets were detected. Four missiles were downed by Ukraine’s Air Force over central and northern regions. The rest of detected targets were presumably false, as they were not reported to have reached any object.
A reminder that 12 Russian warships are remaining on combat duty in the Black Sea, including one missile carrier.
