He confirmed the hit within the airfield area. 

"There was a hit within the area of the Starokostiantyniv airfield in the Khmelnytskyi region. We do not comment on what happened there, where it hit, what the consequences were. And it is not worth commenting on, so that the enemy does not have additional information," said Ihnat.
