Russia’s defence ministry said it shot down a Ukrainian MI-17 helicopter near Sloviansk and an SU-25 aircraft in Kharkiv. Moscow also said its long-range air-based missiles destroyed a depot in an industrial zone in the southern Ukrainian city of Odessa. Russia claimed the depot was used to store Harpoon anti-ship missiles delivered to Ukraine by NATO countries. Russia said it had used ground-based weapons to destroy a HIMARS launcher and a resupply vehicle near Krasnoarmeisk in Donetsk. #russia
