Source: Valerii Zaluzhnyi, the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, on Telegram; Armed Forces of Ukraine, on TelegramQuote: "According to preliminary reports, the enemy launched 76 missiles at Ukraine’s critical infrastructure targets, among them 72 are cruise missiles (Kh-101, Kalibr, Kh-22) and 4 guided air-launched missiles (Kh-59/Kh-31P), from the water area of the Caspian and Black seas.""The missile terror and the enemy's daring attempts to break through Kyiv's anti-aircraft defences will not force us to lay down our arms," Zaluzhnyi emphasised.The Air Force said that the specific feature of this attack was that the Kh-101/Kh-555 cruise missiles were launched not only from above the Caspian Sea and Saratov Oblast, but also over the Engels airbase that hosts the Tu-95MS strategic bombers, which carry the missiles.Several Kh-22 cruise missiles were launched from Tu-22M3, the long-range bombers, over the Sea of Azov; four Kh-59 and Kh-31P, the air-launched missiles, were fired from Russian tactical aviation, presumably Su-35 fighter jets.During the large-scale attack, an Il-76 A-50U, a Russian AWACS jet, hovered in the skies over Belarus; a MiG-31K interceptor capable of carrying a Kinzhal hypersonic missile patrolled the skies, too."
