Russia He pointed this Sunday against USA and held him responsible for a Ukrainian attack on the Crimean peninsula, which caused the death of at least five people, including three children, and the injury of 124 others.
The Russian Defense Ministry said Washington supplied missiles to Ukraine and assured that four of them, equipped with cluster warheads, were shot down by the anti-aircraft defense and that the ammunition of a fifth missile detonated in the air.
He also indicated that American specialists set the flight coordinates of the missiles based on information from their spy satellites, which means that Washington is directly responsible.
“The responsibility for the deliberate missile attack against the civilian population of Sevastopol lies primarily with Washington, which supplied these weapons to Ukraineand in the kyiv regime, from whose territory this attack was carried out,” the ministry said.
USA began supplying Ukraine long-range ATACMS missiles, covering distances of up to 300 kilometers, earlier this year.
Regarding the attack, Russian authorities based in Crimea said missile fragments had landed just after noon near a beach on the northern side of the city of Sevastopol, where locals were vacationing.
At least 124 people were injured, according to Russian Health Minister Mikhail Murashko. Among the injured are 27 children, five of whom are in serious condition, according to authorities.
The Russian Defense Ministry assured that Moscow will respond to the attack, without giving further details. The Kremlin said President Vladimir Putin has been “in constant contact with the military” since the attack on Sevastopol.
