In the capital's Podol, an architectural monument – the National Chernobyl Museum – was destroyed, said Yaroslav Emelianenko, chairman of the Association of Chernobyl Operators.
Monitoring channels report that this was one of the largest attacks on the city during the entire war. According to them, the main component of the attack were cruise missiles of the Kh-101/Caliber/Iskander-K type. Also, in a fairly short time, an “anomalous number” of ballistic and aeroballistic missiles were used.
At the same time, the role of attack and simulation drones in this strike was smaller, “given the low efficiency,” the monitors noted.
