The Russian military launched a series of mass strikes on Ukrainian military targets, the Russian Defense Ministry reported on Friday, in response to what it dubbed as "terrorist attacks" by the Kiev regime.

The attacks involved long-range air, sea, and ground-based high-precision weapons, as well as strike UAVs.

"Last night, in response to the terrorist actions of the Kiev regime, the armed forces of the Russian Federation carried out a massive strike with long-range air, sea, and ground-based high-precision weapons, as well as with strike UAVs against design bureaus, enterprises producing and repairing weapons and military hardware of Ukraine, attack drone assembly workshops, flight training centers, and AFU weapons and military hardware depots," the Ministry said on Telegram.

The targets included design bureaus, military hardware production and repair facilities, drone assembly workshops, flight training centers, and depots of weapons and military equipment belonging to Ukraine's armed forces (AFU).

The Ministry also noted that six coordinated strikes were carried out over the past week on military-industrial sites and other strategic military facilities, with all targets successfully hit.

Ryazan 'terrorist' attack thwarted

The Russian National Guard said on Friday that it had thwarted a "terrorist assault" at a military base in the Ryazan Region.

The Russian National Guard, using surveillance tools, identified and neutralized an attacker planning a UAV-based terrorist attack after he resisted arrest with armed force, according to a statement on Telegram, which added that the culprit had a traumatic handgun that had been altered to fire live bullets.

At the site of the act, explosives specialists from the Russian National Guard Riot Police detonated two drones that were about to be launched in which RKG-3 grenades were used as combat units, with devices that allow their remote operation.
