Russian troops launched a missile attack on a military airfield in Zhytomyr Oblast of Ukraine on August 16.

The attack was carried out from the territory of Belarus, RBC-Ukraine reports, citing the Ukrainian Central Air Command on Facebook.

According to the command, the Russian planes took off from the territory of Belarus and, in an attempt to disguise aviation activity as training flights, fired two X-59 guided missiles on a military airfield in the Zhytomyr region.

As a result of the attack, the airfield’s runway and several vehicles were damaged. There are no military casualties since everyone was in hiding, the command reported.
