Russia stages major airstrike on Ukraine; one missile enters Polish airspace - March 24, 2024

"There were two preliminary hits on the same critical infrastructure facility that the occupiers targeted at night," Lviv's regional governor Maksym Kozytskyi wrote on the Telegram messaging app.

The strike used Kinzhal hypersonic missiles, which are harder to shoot down, he added, without identifying the facility.

The energy ministry said equipment caught fire when a critical energy facility in the Lviv region was attacked, causing it to lose power. It was unclear if they were talking about the same facility.

The "facility" is Novyi Kalyniv Air Base (Lviv Oblast), about 45 miles southwest from Lviv, Ukraine. Apparently home of Ukraine 12th Army Aviation Brigade, and maybe the 7th, but I am not sure.

The "facility" was supposed to take on F-16's, and some parts of the airfield and just recently been updated for that service.

Last line of my reply 20, above, should have been:

The “facility” is supposed to take on F-16’s, and some parts of the airfield had recently been updated for that service.

CORRECTION to my reply 20, above, re the airfield that Russian missiles hit (03/23/2024-03/24/2024):

The Ukraine airfield "facility" was NOT Novyi Kalyniv Air Base (Lviv Oblast).

The Ukraine airfield "facility" is southwest of the city of Stryi (Lviv Oblast), Ukraine, on the west bank of the Stryi River.
