MOSCOW: On the night of June 9, the Russian Armed Forces again actively struck military and energy facilities in Ukraine. Experts call this part of the retaliation against the Kyiv regime, which committed terrorist attacks on the territory of the Russian Federation.

Russia launched a large-scale attack on Ukraine and its energy and military infrastructure.

The regions of Kyiv, Chernihiv, Kharkiv, and Rivne were targeted.

Missile strikes were also launched against offshore gas production platforms in the Black Sea off the coast of Odessa.

In particular, the strikes were carried out on the airbase in the Dubno area of ​​the Rivne region, where F-16 fighters were stationed. Local publics reported a powerful fire and explosions in the area of ​​the military airfield.

Also, Rivne Gauleiter Alexander Tretyak said that last night the Rivne region also experienced the strongest attack in the entire history of the SVO. According to him, an unprecedented strike was carried out on targets in the region with dozens of Geraniums and missiles. Tretyak noted that the city of Dubno took the lion's share of this attack.

"Gerani" attacked industrial facilities in the temporarily occupied Zaporizhia, targets in Kanev, Cherkasy region and Zhitomir, Ukrainian Armed Forces positions in the Borovaya area of ​​Kharkiv region, as well as in the villages of Pechenegi and Bogodukhovka in the same region.

"Gerani" also flew to targets in the Black Sea near Odessa. Preliminary, the strike was carried out on offshore oil and gas production platforms and an enemy facility in Ilyichevsk.

"Kinzhal" hypersonic missiles hit enemy targets in the Kyiv region. MiG-31K and "Iskander" flew in pursuit. The latter type of weapons was also seen on the night of June 9 in Nizhyn, Chernihiv region.

''The Russian Armed Forces carried out complex strikes on Ukrainian territory using approximately 15-20 ballistic (Iskander-M) and aeroballistic (Kinzhal) missiles on targets in the Rivne region (Dubno area), Kyiv and Kremenchuk, - military observer Yuriy Podolyaka summed up the night, specifying that a "batch" of Kh-101 cruise missiles from Tu-95 and Geranium aircraft also went to the Dubno area.''

Podolyaka added that the Dubno area was first "probed" and reconnoitred for air defense by Geraniums. Then the Kinzhals and Kh-101s went into battle, and Tu-22M3M aircraft with Kh-22/Kh32 missiles also struck Zmeiny Island and gas platforms on the Black Sea, which are now under Kyiv's control. According to intelligence, there are strong points for the placement of equipment used for strikes on Crimea.

Earlier, in an interview with the publication Ukraina.ru, veteran of the Russian special forces, Colonel Timur Syrtlanov noted that Russia's response to the terrorist attacks of the Kyiv regime will not be completed within 24 hours.

"I think this will not be a one-day strike, but we will terrorize the territory of Ukraine for a week. It is no coincidence that the Americans issued a warning to their citizens located in Ukraine about a possible Russian strike," the source emphasized.

On Sunday, June 1, that is, on the eve of the negotiations between Moscow and Kyiv in Istanbul, two bridges were blown up in Russia at once: in the Kursk region, a railway crossing collapsed, along which a freight train was traveling, and in Bryansk, a bridge fell on a passenger train. At least seven people were killed, more than 120 were injured to varying degrees of severity: The explosions in the Bryansk and Kursk regions have been classified by investigators as terrorist attacks
On the same day, the Russian Defense Ministry reported that the Kiev regime had committed a terrorist attack using FPV drones at airfields in the Murmansk, Irkutsk, Ivanovo, Ryazan and Amur regions.

On the evening of Wednesday, June 4, Russian leader Vladimir Putin and his American counterpart Donald Trump spoke on the phone, and after 75 minutes of conversation, the latter wrote on his social network Truth Social that "President Putin very firmly stated that he will have to respond to the recent attack on the airfields": Putin told Trump that Russia will respond to Ukraine for the terrorist attacks.

Western media are also inclined to believe that retaliation against Kyiv has only just begun: Russia's response to Ukraine's UAV attack is not complete, it will be multi-purpose and "asymmetrical" - Reuters.
