“According to preliminary information, these are 2 cars, 2 trucks with ammunition, and with the help of NLAW anti-tank missiles an enemy tank was destroyed,” the service said. The UK provided this weaponry to Ukraine in the weeks before Russia’s invasion.
Ukraine also said it had shot down a second Russian military transport plane not far from Kiev. The Ilyushin Il-76 military transport plane was shot down near Bila Tserkva, approximately 80 km south of the capital.
