Ukraine targeted Crimea on Wednesday morning and seven explosions were heard as lethal supersonic missiles were destroyed, it has been claimed.
Vladimir Putin’s missile carrier which housed the supersonic missiles was hit and the Russian appointed Mayor Mariupol, Pyotr Andryushchenko said the anti-ship missiles system and the Bastion complex was also hit in the attack.
The Ukrainian attack blew up Onyx missiles which can evade radar systems due to their supersonic speeds and have previously been for wide-scale attacks on Ukraine.
