“This type of rocket . can be launched by a single Russian unit,” Ukraine officials stated Sunday.
Ukraine officials on Sunday stated which Russian military outfit they believe was responsible for the bombing of a high-rise apartment building in Dnipro that has led to more than two dozen deaths.
Ukraine’s office of the Prosecutor General said it was Russia’s 52nd Guards Bomber Aviation Regiment.
“According to preliminary information, the Kh-22 missile was used. This type of missile leads to the greatest human casualties, because the missile is extremely inaccurate, has a huge deviation. Therefore, the use of such weapons for targets in densely populated areas is clearly a war crime,” the Ukraine office said in a Telegram post. “This type of rocket was used in Sergiivka and Kremenchuk. It can be launched by a single Russian unit – the 52nd Guards Bomber Aviation Regiment.”
The Kh-22 missiles were largely responsible for massive destruction and deaths Saturday in Dnipro, located in the contentious Eastern Ukraine, where Russia has already occupied many territories and battles to save that territory.
