Zelenskyy confirms 'long-range Neptune' strikes on Russian targets

"Overnight our warriors successfully used “Long Neptunes” against designated targets on Russian territory – and this is our entirely just response to Russia’s ongoing terror," Zelenskyy wrote. "Ukrainian missiles are delivering increasingly significant and precise results virtually every month."

Zelenskyy also said that during the night's massive Russian attack, air defense systems including Patriot and others downed 14 Russian missiles, specifically two aeroballistic and six ballistic ones.

"We will continue strengthening this component of our air defense – with systems capable of shooting down ballistic missiles," the president added.

Open-source intelligence resources reported an attack on the Saratov oil refinery in Russia that night.

Explosions were also heard in Novorossiysk, where preliminary data suggested a possible detonation at a warehouse holding ammunition and Kalibr cruise missiles.

Meanwhile, Russia's Defense Ministry claimed it had destroyed 216 Ukrainian drones over Russian territory.
