Russia’s massive missile attack likely targeted military supplies provided to Ukraine – British intelligence

The UK Ministry of Defence reports.

Russia's recent attacks indicate that the Kremlin has stopped using long-range missiles. For example, during the latest wave on April 28, Russia fired fewer missiles than those over the winter. According to British intelligence, this attack was unlikely to target Ukraine's energy infrastructure.

"There is a realistic possibility that Russia was attempting to intercept Ukrainian reserve units and military supplies recently provided to Ukraine," the statement said.

British intelligence claims that the Russian Federation uses an inefficient targeting process and prioritizes perceived military necessity. At the same time, it does not prevent collateral damage, including civilian deaths.

• On April 28, a Russian missile hit a high-rise building in Uman, Cherkasy region, during a massive attack: at least 23 people were killed, including 4 children, and 18 were injured. In Dnipro, a 2-year-old girl and a 31-year-old woman were killed and four people were injured.

• In the Chernihiv region, Russians launched three airstrikes on the village of Kostobobriv on the afternoon of April 28, damaging eight houses.
