Russia attacked Ukraine with aeroballistic missiles on the morning of October 7.
One of the three “Daggers” fired by Russia over Ukraine this morning, October 7, hit near the airfield in Starokostiantyniv. About this reported in the Air Force Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
We will remind, at 8:28 for the second time in a day, an alarm sounded in Khmelnytskyi due to the takeoff of enemy MiG-31K and the launch of missiles over the territory of Ukraine.
According to the Air Force of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, high-speed targets were flying towards Kyiv and Starokostyantyniv. In particular, it was reported about the launch of aeroballistic missiles of the “Kinzhal” type. Explosions were heard in the region.
However, as the head of the Khmelnytskyi regional military administration reported after the alarm ended Serhiy Tyurin, during the attack on Khmelnytskyi there were no rocket hits on civilian and critical infrastructure.
So far, the Air Force Command has reported the consequences of the Daggers missile attack and the hit in Starokostyantynov.
According to the information of the Air Force, today, October 7, the enemy attacked with three Kh-47M2 “Kinzhal” aeroballistic missiles from three MiG-31K aircraft from the airspace of the Tambov region. As a result of the anti-aircraft battle, it was confirmed that two Kh-47M2 “Kinzhal” aeroballistic missiles were shot down in the Kyiv region. One of the three “Daggers” hit in the area of the Starokostyantiny airfield in the Khmelnytskyi region.
In addition, today at dawn in the Khmelnytskyi region, an alarm was sounded due to an attack by enemy drones. As a result of the air battle, the Air Defense Forces shot down the enemy “shahed”.
Russia’s Recent Attack on Ukraine with Aeroballistic Missiles: An Analysis
In a disturbing turn of events, Russia launched an aerial assault on Ukraine on the morning of October 7, firing aeroballistic missiles over Ukrainian territory. According to reports, one of the three ”Daggers” fired by Russia hit near the airfield in Starokostiantyniv.
This recent escalation of violence is a stark reminder of the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, which has been ongoing since 2014. The February 2014 covert invasion of Crimea by disguised Russian troops marked the beginning of this lengthy and brutal conflict [[1]]. The situation took a turn for the worse in 2022, when Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, prompting Ukraine’s president to declare martial law and vow stiff resistance [[2]].
The fact that Russia has resorted to using aeroballistic missiles in its recent attack on Ukraine is particularly alarming. These missiles are capable of causing significant destruction and loss of life, and their use by Russia is likely to lead to increased tensions between Russia and Ukraine, as well as between Russia and the international community.
As we mark the two-year anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, it is clear that the conflict is showing no signs of abating. In fact, recent developments suggest that the situation is likely to continue to deteriorate in the coming months. As the United States Department of State has noted, it has been 10 years since Ukraine’s Revolution of Dignity, and yet the country remains embroiled in conflict with its eastern neighbor [[3]].
In light of these developments, it is essential that the international community remains vigilant and continues to support Ukraine in its efforts to defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity. This recent attack on Ukraine with aeroballistic missiles is a stark reminder of the need for continued diplomacy and engagement to find a peaceful resolution to this conflict.
As a blogger and analyst, I will continue to monitor this situation closely and provide updates as more information becomes available. It is my hope that this conflict will soon come to an end, and that Ukraine and Russia will be able to find a peaceful and lasting resolution to their differences.
