“Half of “Kinzhaliv” failed to reach its goal today,” says Ignat
Russian fascists launched six Kinzhal aeroballistic missiles over Ukraine on Saturday morning. Half of them did not achieve their goals, the spokesman of the Air Force of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Yuriy Ignat, said on the air of the telethon on January 13.
“We’ve seen six Daggers today, we’ve reported on them… Half definitely missed the targets – that’s 100%,” Ignat said, noting that there could have been a few false targets in today’s attack.
He added that more than 20 air assets of the Russians did not reach the target. The spokesman explained that they could have fallen in an open area or there was an explosion in the air, or they were affected by the effect of the means of radio-electronic warfare of the Armed Forces.
“It’s good that the Russian missiles are not only being countered by the Defense Forces, but are increasingly flying “accurately to the target”, as they write. Missiles become of lower quality and do not reach their targets,” Ignat said.
We will remind you that on the night of January 13, the Russians carried out another massive missile attack on Ukraine. Initially, missiles of the X-101/555/55 type were launched from the sides of the Tu-95MS. Later it became known that dagger missiles appeared in the air, launched by MiG-31 aircraft.
The explosions were heard in the Dnipro, Chernihiv, Poltava and Sumy regions. The Air Force later said eight Russian missiles had been shot down and more than 20 missed their targets. In total, the Russians launched 40 missiles and drones.
The city of Dnipro was subjected to a missile attack by Russian aggressors. This was announced by the head of Dnipropetrovsk OVA Serhiy Lysak in Telegram on Saturday, January 13.
“Saturday morning seemed difficult. We have “arrivals” in the Dnipro. We are now clarifying the damage caused by the strikes. But the most important thing is always people. Fortunately, all targets. It has passed. Thanks to the defenders of the sky! Their work helped avoid greater consequences,” he wrote.
Russian aggressors fired the city of Shostka in the Sumy region on the morning of Saturday, January 13. One woman was injured. According to the Operational Command of the North, seven “parishes” were recorded in Shostka. We are talking about a missile strike. And the regional prosecutor’s office clarified that, according to preliminary data, the Russians used Kh-22 supersonic cruise missiles. As a result of the shelling, a 47-year-old woman was injured. At least 26 buildings were damaged by the blast wave. A criminal case was opened for violation of the laws and customs of war (Part 1 of Article 438 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).
In the Poltava region, an unexploded rocket of the Russian aggressors fell near a private house. This was reported by the local OVA. In the yard of one of the private houses in the Kremenchuk district a rocket fell that did not explode. Fortunately, there were no casualties,” the report said.
