"High-precision air-launched missiles in the area of the settlement of Stara Bohdanivka, Mykolaiv region and at the Chuhuiv military airfield [in Kharkiv region] destroyed launchers of Ukrainian S-300 anti-aircraft missile systems identified by reconnaissance.
Russian forces have carried out missile strikes in Ukraine's Dnipropetrovsk, Mykolaiv and Kharkiv regions, the Russian Ministry of Defense said Sunday.
"During the night in the village of Zvonetske -- Dnipropetrovsk region -- high-precision sea-based missiles destroyed the headquarters and base of the Dnipro nationalist battalion, where reinforcements from foreign mercenaries arrived the other day," Russian defense ministry spokesman Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov said in a statement.

Earlier Sunday, the head of the Dnipropetrovsk regional military administration, Valentyn Reznichenko, said there had been "sirens almost every hour" and that a Russian strike on the regional capital of Dnipro had destroyed infrastructure.
The Russian military routinely claims that it is targeting "foreign mercenaries" and "nationalist" formations in Ukraine as part of its public-relations messaging around the war in Ukraine and denies targeting civilian infrastructure.
