Russia destroys 10 Ukrainian missiles over Crimea - defence ministry

Russia's defence ministry on Thursday said its forces had foiled a Ukrainian attack on Russian facilities in Crimea and had destroyed 10 Ukrainian missiles over the peninsula. Ukraine has staged a string of damaging attacks on Russian-annexed Crimea and the bridge linking it to Russia in the course of the 22-month war.

Russia seized Crimea from Ukraine in 2014. Kyiv has demanded that Moscow hand it back.
