Ukraine hits Russian Starlink-style network; Moscow tracks arms package

Ukraine has launched a series of long-range strikes against Russia, targeting a military airfield and a rocket center that supports Russia's Starlink-style satellite internet network. The Ukrainian armed forces reportedly used domestically produced Flamingo cruise missiles to hit the Progress Centre rocket facility, which plays a crucial role in Russia's war efforts by producing rocket technology and electronics.

The base is located approximately 900 kilometers from the Ukrainian border, showcasing Ukraine's ability to carry out long-range strikes, a capability President Volodymyr Zelensky is leveraging to put more pressure on Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Meanwhile, Moscow is seeking clarification from Washington and Ankara regarding a potential shipment of a "substantial arsenal" of US weapons and ammunition to Kiev. The Russian Foreign Ministry is demanding answers from the US and Turkey about the reports of the impending weapons transfer, suggesting that it could include a significant number of US weapons and ammunition.

This development comes as Russia retaliated against Ukraine on Saturday, launching an attack on an apartment block in the southeastern town of Marhanets, resulting in the death of a three-month-old baby.
