Kyiv says all weapons were shot down and Ukraine’s only airfield ever to handle frontline US combat aircraft was undamaged. Russia has been pounding the base repeatedly for some time.
Russian strike planners on Friday launched a focused but, according to Kyiv statements, unsuccessful attack against the Khmelnytsky region air base in Starokostyantyniv. The Ukrainian airfield is considered to be the best prepared to handle soon-to-arrive American F-16 fighter jets.
