The Russian Defence Ministry disclosed the targets of its recent attack in Ukraine, which included the academic building and dormitories of the Starobelsk Professional College in the Luhansk region. The assault, carried out by four UAVs, tragically resulted in the deaths of several young students.
Using a variety of weapons, the Ministry conducted the attack on Kyiv and the Kyiv region on May 24. The arsenal included ballistic missiles, Iskander air-launched ballistic missiles, Kinzhal hypersonic air-launched ballistic missiles, Tsirkon cruise missiles, and various other air, sea, and ground-based missiles, as well as attack unmanned aerial vehicles.
The targets of the attack were specified as the Ukrainian defence industry, military infrastructure, and command posts of the General Command of the Ukrainian Ground Forces and the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine, among others. The Ministry clarified that no strikes were intended or executed against the civilian infrastructure of Ukraine.
The tragic incident at Starobelsk college claimed the lives of 21 individuals and left over 60 others injured. Russian Human Rights Commissioner Yana Lantratova raised concerns about the foreign-manufactured drones responsible for the attack, urging Western powers to take note of the origins of these lethal weapons.
