Russia blasts Ukraine for drone attacks in Crimea; Kyiv claims Moscow's Kalibr missiles destroyed | Times Of Ahmedabad

Russia blasted Ukraine for alleged drone attacks on Crimean civilians during Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping’s meeting in Moscow on Monday night. The Crimean Administration stated that one civilian even got injured as a wave of drones were launched on Russian territory, most of which were shot down. Officials said that ‘shrapnel and falling debris’ from drones that were shot down caused damage. While Russia lashes out at Ukraine for drone attacks, Kyiv has made an explosive claim. Ukraine reported the destruction of multiple Russian cruise missiles as they were being transported by rail to Russia’s Black Sea fleet in Crimea. Ukraine’s military agency said that multiple Russian Kalibr missiles were destroyed by an explosion, without explicitly saying if Kyiv was responsible. Russian officials have not confirmed or denied that missiles were destroyed in an attack so far. Remember, Kalibr cruise missiles have been used frequently in Russian attacks on Ukraine.
