The Russian Defense Ministry said Thursday its air defense systems shot down two British-made Storm Shadow missiles, six HIMARS rockets and 67 drones.
The announcement came in the ministry’s daily roundup of the “special military operation” in Ukraine. It didn’t say when or where exactly it happened or what the missiles were targeting.
It said an intercontinental ballistic missile was fired at Dnipro city along with eight other missiles, and that the Ukrainian military shot down six of them. The development comes as the war has taken on a growing international dimension with the arrival of North Korean troops to help Russia on the battlefield — a development that U.S. officials said prompted U.S. President Joe Biden’s policy shift on allowing Ukraine to fire longer-range U.S. missiles into Russia. The Kremlin responded with threats to escalate further.
