KYIV, July 28 (AFP): Ukraine said Thursday that Moscow's forces had struck a military base north of the capital Kyiv, in a rare admission of a successful Russian attack on Ukrainian military infrastructure.
Senior Ukraine military official Oleksiy Gromov told reporters that Russian forces had fired "six Kalibr cruise missiles on a military base in Lyutizh" at around 0200 GMT. One building was destroyed and two were damaged, he said, in the attack on the town some 30 kilometres (19 miles) north of the capital.
The missiles-one of which was shot down by Ukrainian air defences-were fired from the Crimea peninsula, which Russia annexed from Ukraine in 2014, he added.
