The Ministry also announced that the Air Force had destroyed a military airfield in the city of Vasilkov, and a major center for radio and electronic intelligence in the Brovory region.

Two days ago, Konashenkov detailed that the armed forces of Russia destroyed nearly three thousand facilities of the Ukrainian military infrastructure.

Konashenkov stated that on the last day, Russian forces shot down five drones and one Tochka-U missile. Simultaneously, the Donetsk People's Republics (DPR) and Lugansk People's Republics (LPR) people's militias are regaining villages in a counteroffensive.

Yesterday, Volnovakha city was seized by the DPR, according to the spokesperson.

"Units of the Donetsk People's Republic liberated the city of Volnovakha," Konashenkov said, adding that three more settlements were captured.

The DPR soldiers have also continued to encircle Mariupol, according to Konashenkov.

Earlier, Russia's Defense Ministry announced that Russian military forces took complete control of the Ukrainian regional center of Kherson.

On Friday, Konashenkov warned that the man-portable air-defense systems (MANPADS) deployed in Kiev, sent by the West, pose a terrorist threat on civilian aircraft.
