The Air Force of the Ukrainian Armed Forces has no information about the launch of two, rather than one, Oreshnik medium-range ballistic missile (MRBM) during a massive attack on Ukraine on the night of May 24. The head of the Air Force Communications Department, Yuri Ignat, announced this in a commentary to Channel 24, published on May 25.
The monitoring channel “єRadar” wrote about the launch of two MRBMs.
They indicate that at approximately 1.00 on May 24, monitoring channels reported the launch of Oreshnik, but information about a hit in Ukraine was not received at that time, so “Radar” questioned it. Then, according to the channel, a second launch occurred, which struck Bila Tserkva.
“єRadar” claims that the first Oreshnik hit the occupied territory in the area of Avdiivka or Yasinovataya in the suburbs of Donetsk. It also does not rule out that the Russians attacked their own troops in this territory.
OSINT channel “CyberBoroshno” confirmed the footage, which supposedly recorded the first “Oreshnik”. Analysts say that the video shows the unfinished Rose Park shopping center in Donetsk, and the camera is directed towards the north or northwest (the settlements of Avdeevka, Kramatorsk, Slavyansk, Izyum, Volchansk, Belgorod).
“It is impossible to determine exactly where the hit occurred,” writes the OSINT channel.
Ignat said that the Armed Forces of Ukraine officially confirm only one launch. While there is no information about a possible second launch yet.
He also noted that there is currently no confirmed information about possible defeats of Russian troops by Oreshnik.
If new data becomes available, an official message will appear, Ignat added.
