The Russian Defense Ministry said its missile strike hit weapons of Western nations in attack on Ukrainian city of Kremenchuk.
At least people died while many others are still missing after the strike at a shopping mall on Monday
The Russian ministry of defence, on its Telegram channel, said Russian “Aerospace Forces launched a strike with high-precision air-based weapons on hangars with weapons and ammunition received from the United States and European countries,” hitting a plant of “road machines.
The ministry said the shopping centre being talked about is non-functional.
Russia said as a result of a high-precision strike, the weapons and ammunition supplied by the West concentrated in the storage area for further shipment to the Ukrainian group of troops in Donbas, were hit.
The ministry said the detonation of the stored ammunition for Western weapons caused a fire in the shopping centre.
