Russia says it used hypersonic missiles
STORY: Russia's Interfax news agency said it was the first time Russia had deployed the hypersonic Kinzhal system since it sent its troops into Ukraine on Feb. 24.
Defence ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov told a briefing that the underground depot hit by the Kinzhal system on Friday housed Ukrainian missiles and aircraft ammunition, according to a recording of the briefing shared by Russian news agencies.
Konashenkov added that Russian forces had also destroyed military radio and reconnaissance centers near the Ukrainian port city of Odessa using the Bastion coastal missile system.
Reuters was not able to independently verify Konashenkov's statements.
The office of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
