Quote from Ihnat: "The rest of today's explosions occurred as a result of S-300 missile strikes that the enemy forces launched on Kharkiv and Zaporizhzhia oblasts. [The Russians attacked] Kharkiv Oblast from the area near Belgorod; [they attacked] Zaporizhzhia Oblast from the area near Tokmak, in the occupied territory of Zaporizhzhia Oblast.
Overall, I would say this was a record-breaking attack as far as this type of missile is concerned. Up to 35 cruise missiles were launched on Zaporizhzhia and Kharkiv oblasts."
