Ukraine war: Russia strikes Ukrainian arms depot to thwart counter attack
Warehouses reportedly storing Ukrainian ammunition have been struck by Russian missiles overnight, in an apparent bid to hinder Kyiv’s preparations for a highly-anticipated spring counteroffensive.
Videos posted on social media from Pavlohrad, central eastern Ukraine, showed a significant blaze at the site of the strike, with an industrial zone, 19 apartment buildings and 25 homes damaged or destroyed, according to the head of the Dnipro region council.
Mykola Lukashuk added: “There were also fires. Emergency services are at work.” The area was struck twice overnight.
