MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia's air defence systems destroyed seven Ukraine-launched rockets and two drones over the southwestern region of Belgorod, the Russian defence ministry said on Wednesday.
The Ukrainian strike was carried out with Czech-made Vampire rockets, the ministry said - the same type which, according to Moscow, was used in deadly strikes on the city of Belgorod in late December.
