On Sunday, the Russian Defense Ministry announced the destruction of the launching equipment of the US “HIMARS” missile system in Donbass, and a warehouse of Harpoon anti-ship missiles in Odessa, southern Ukraine.
Russian Defense Spokesman Igor Konashenkov said in a press briefing that Russian forces destroyed, with high-precision ground weapons, in the Krasno-Armysk-Donetsk region, a launch pad and a loading vehicle for an American-made HIMARS rocket launcher.
He added that “long-range, high-precision missiles launched from the air destroyed in one of the buildings of an industrial enterprise in the city of Odessa a warehouse for storing Harpoon anti-ship missiles delivered by NATO countries to Ukraine.”
It is noteworthy that the Russian forces are trying to extend their full control over the eastern Donbass region, parts of which were controlled by the Russian-backed separatists before the military operation on February 24.
