Moscow, April 23 (AFP) Apr 23, 2022
Russia's defence ministry said Saturday its troops had conducted a missile strike on a depot containing weapons delivered by the United States and European countries to Ukrainian forces near Odessa.

"Russian armed forces today disabled with high-precision and long-range missiles a logistics terminal at the military airfield near Odessa where a large batch of foreign weapons delivered by the United States and European countries were stored," it said in a statement.

The strike was among 22 Ukrainian military sites Russia targetted by missiles Saturday, including three arms and munitions depots near Ilichiovka and Kramatorsk, said the ministry.

Also Saturday, Russian warplanes carried out strikes on 79 military sites, including 16 weapons and fuels depots, the statement added.
