Russia hits 1,612 targets since start of operation in Ukraine

Moscow, Mar 3 (Prensa Latina) Defense Ministry Spokesman Igor Konashenkov on Thursday reported that this country's troops have hit 1,612 targets since the start of the military operation in Ukraine.

Among them, Konashenkov cited 62 command posts and communication centers of the Ukrainian forces, 39 S-300, Buk M-1 and Osa missile systems, as well as 52 radar stations.

The official added that 49 aircraft were destroyed on the ground and 13 others in the air. A total of 606 tanks and other armored combat vehicles, 67 multiple rocket launchers, 227 field artillery pieces and mortars, 405 field artillery pieces and mortars and 53 drones were also destroyed.

Konashenkov also stated that the Russian high-precision and long-range weapons have disabled a radio and television technology center in Lysaya Gora, district of Kiev, used by Ukrainian forces for psychological operations against Russia, an attack that left no casualties or residential damages.

Russia launched a military operation in Ukraine on February 24, after the authorities of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) and Lugansk People’s Republic (LPR) requested help to repel the aggression from Kiev.

Earlier, Moscow recognized the independence and sovereignty of both territories and signed treaties of friendship, cooperation and mutual assistance with the heads of the DPR and LPR, including establishing diplomatic relations and providing military aid.
