Rail facilities destroyed to block foreign arms supply – Russia
We’ve been bringing you updates on the reports of attacks on railway infrastructure in Ukraine, which Ukrainian officials say killed five people.
Earlier, Ukraine said Russia was trying to disrupt supply lines for military equipment from foreign countries. Now Russia has confirmed that was the purpose of the attacks, according to Reuters.
The news agency is citing a statement from the Russian defence ministry, saying its missiles destroyed six facilities powering the railways that were used to supply Ukrainian forces with weapons from abroad.
Ukrainian officials said five railway stations in the centre and west of the country came under attack within an hour this morning.
An electricity substation powering overhead lines in Krasne, near Lviv, was also hit in a missile strike.
