Russia Fires Cruise Missiles from Submarine, Warns NATO - Other Media news - Tasnim News Agency

Russia said on Wednesday it had fired two Kalibr cruise missiles at Ukrainian targets from a submarine in the Black Sea and reiterated a warning that it would seek to hit shipments of NATO weapons to Ukraine.

The defense ministry published video footage of the cruise missiles being launched from the Black Sea, and said they had hit unspecified ground targets in Ukraine, Reuters reported.

Russia previously said it had mounted similar strikes from a submarine on April 29.

Earlier on Wednesday, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu reiterated a warning that Russia would seek to destroy convoys of arms shipments to Ukraine from Western countries, which in recent weeks have stepped up these supplies.

"The United States and its NATO allies are continuing to pump weapons into Ukraine," Shoigu told a conference of defense ministry officials on day 70 of what Russia calls its special military operation in Ukraine.

"We view any transport of the North Atlantic Alliance arriving on the territory of the country with weapons or materials destined to the Ukrainian army as a target to be destroyed," he added.

Russia's defense ministry said earlier that it had disabled six railway stations in Ukraine used to supply Ukrainian forces with Western-made weapons in the country's east by bombing their power supplies.

It was not possible to independently verify the claim, which did not say which Western-made weapons were supplied to Ukrainian forces via those stations. There was no immediate reaction from Kyiv.
