Russia Says It Struck a Kyiv-Area Depot Supplying Western Weapons

The Russian Ministry of Defense disclosed during a regular briefing that the armed forces conducted a strike against an arms depot near the town of Chortkiv in the Ternopil region. The briefing asserted that the facility contained equipment and munitions supplied to the Kyiv regime from the United States and several European countries, including Kalibr cruise missiles. The MoD claimed the target housed an array of anti-tank missile systems, portable air defense systems, and artillery shells intended for weapons systems delivered to Kyiv from Western partners. The officials stated that the strike disrupted this supply network and degraded the Kyiv regime’s battlefield logistics. The briefing noted that two variants of the Kalibr missiles were being employed by Russian forces: Calibre-NK, which is ship-launched, and Calibre-PL, designed for launch from submarines. This claim was presented as part of a broader assessment of Western military assistance to Ukraine and its impact on regional security dynamics. (Source: Russian Ministry of Defense briefing)
