Russian media stated that Kinzhal and Kalibr missiles, as well as Shahed-type drones, were actively used in the attacks. In addition, strategic missile-carrying bombers Tu-95MS and Tu-160 launched long-range Kh-101 cruise missiles.
Some sources claim that Zircon missiles fired from the Black Sea hit an infrastructure facility in the Sumy region. However, this information has not yet been officially confirmed.
