Russia said on Sunday that its hypesonic Kalibr missiles had destroyed an ammunition depot containing missiles for US-made HIMARS rocket system in Ukraine’s southeastern Odesa region, while Kyiv said a granary had been hit.
Russia’s defence ministry said sea-based Kalibr missiles had destroyed a depot that also housed Western-made anti-aircraft systems.
A spokesman for Odesa’s regional administration said two missiles had been shot down over the sea, but that three had struck agricultural targets.
There were no casualties, the spokesman, Serhiy Bratchuk, said on Telegram. An explosives expert and other investigators were working at the granary, he said.
Russia’s defence ministry also said its forces had destroyed two M777 Howitzers in combat positions in the Kherson region, as well as a fuel depot in the Zaporizhzhia region that it said was storing more than 100 tonnes of diesel fuel.

If nothing else, you people who support the latest US state department’s proxy war are persistent.
On what recent success of such activity do you rely upon to reach the conclusion the outcome will be anything other
than unnecessary death and destruction or of any benefit to anyone at all.
That’s what I thought. I would not get an answer from any of you. You’re all talk and none of you have a leg to stand on.
What you’ve done is confuse having no facts to support your assertions with being patriotic. You are hurting your own cause, whatever it is.
