The strike hit a former hotel complex next to a church that was being used as a barracks by Russian forces, The Guardian reported.Yevgeny Balitsky, Zaporizhzhia's Russian-installed regional governor, said on his Telegram channel that air defence systems had destroyed two missiles, but four reached their targets.HIMARS have been among Ukraine's most formidable weapons in the war, allowing forces to precisely strike numerous targets.Oleksiy Arestovych, an adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, said Melitopol, a major industrial and transport centre that was one of the first big cities to fall to Russian forces in March, is key to the defence of the south, according to Reuters."All logistics linking the Russian forces on the eastern part of the Kherson region and all the way to the Russian border near Mariupol is carried out through it," Arestovych said in a video interview on social media."
