Russia's defence ministry said on Tuesday its forces had launched missile strikes at targets across Ukraine overnight, disrupting Kyiv's supplies of ammunition to the frontline and troop movements.
Ukrainian officials said earlier on Tuesday their air defences had shot down 23 of 25 Russian cruise missiles fired mainly at the capital Kyiv overnight, in an attack that came just hours before Moscow celebrated Victory Day with a military parade in front of the Kremlin.
"Overnight, Russia's armed forces launched a concentrated strike using high-precision, long-range sea and air-based weapons aimed against enemy barracks and ammunition depots," the defence ministry said in its regular daily briefing.
