Ukraine strikes Russian missile launchers, air defense systems in Bryansk Oblast, General Staff says

Ukrainian forces targeted Russian missile launchers and air defense systems in Bryansk Oblast, confirming hits on Iskander launchers and a Pantsir-S1 system. The extent of damage is still being assessed. Russia has launched over 500 ballistic missiles against Ukraine since early 2026, with Kyiv's military intelligence estimating high production rates of missiles. President Zelensky noted that Russia's missile strikes on Kyiv coincide with preparations for trilateral talks. Reports indicate a shortage of air defense systems in Russia, affecting military installations. The Kyiv Independent could not verify the strikes independently.
