Ukraine's Civil Defense Siren Blares in Lviv

Civil defense siren sounded around western Ukraine's city of Lviv for the 10th day early morning on Sunday.

According to the Russian defence ministry, the Kremlin used its newest Kinzhal (Dagger) missiles on Friday to destroy a weapons storage complex in Ukraine’s west.

“A big underground storage housing missiles and aviation ammunition in the village of Deliatyn in the Ivano-Frankivsk region was destroyed by the Kinzhal aviation missile system with hypersonic aeroballistic missiles,” it claimed on Saturday.

The unconfirmed incident occurred in a territory that shares a 50-kilometer border with Romania, a Nato member.

In 2016, it was thought that Russian hypersonic missiles were employed for the first time in Syria.

Russia has been compelled to adjust its operational approach, according to the latest British defence intelligence assessment, and is now adopting an attrition strategy.

“This is likely to involve the employment of indiscriminate weapons, resulting in greater civilian casualties, destruction of Ukrainian infrastructure, and exacerbation of the humanitarian crisis,” the Ministry of Defense said on Saturday.

According to sources from Ukraine’s government, Russia used nearly all of its Kaliber cruise missiles and Iskander ballistic missiles in the first 20 days of the war.

“The invader continues to use indiscriminate weaponry to launch missile and bomb strikes on infrastructure and housing neighbourhoods of significant cities,” Ukrainian sources warned.
