According to updated information, the enemy used 6 air-launched ballistic missiles "Kinzhal," 9 cruise missiles "Kalibr," and 10 ground-based missiles (S-400, "Iskander-M"), all of which were destroyed by our defenders. However, two rockets from the S-300 system were used by the occupiers against the civilian infrastructure of Kostiantynivka in Donetsk Oblast.
