Russian strikes pounded a military factory near Kyiv that makes the missiles Ukraine claims it used to sink the Moskva naval flagship. Russia had earlier announced it had used Kalibr sea-based long-range missiles to hit the factory, which Ukraine's state weapons manufacturer Ukroboronprom says produced Neptune missiles. "People lived here... Three people were hurt," Andrei Sizov, a 47-year-old owner of a nearby wood workshop, tells AFP.
Russia's Black Sea flagship sank on Thursday (April 14) after an explosion and fire that Ukraine claimed was a successful missile strike. Russia's defence ministry spoke only of a fire breaking out and of exploding ammunition.
Heavy missile strikes by Kremlin's forces have killed at least 34 and wounded dozens in the last three days, Ukrainian authorities say.
The flagship, Moskva, was allegedly struck with at least two rockets, Odesa authorities claim. The Kremlin said it sustained damage after a fire broke out.View on euronews
