The strike, which also targeted a coastal-defense launcher, was carried out in Dnepropetrovsk Region, the Defense Ministry has said
Russian forces have carried out a successful strike on two Ukrainian missile launchers, including a US-supplied high-mobility artillery rocket system (HIMARS), the Defense Ministry has said, releasing video of the impact.
In a statement on Sunday, the ministry said that the Russian Iskander-M short-range ballistic missile system - supported by reconnaissance drones - had struck a Ukrainian 'Neptune' mobile shore-based missile system and a HIMARS in Ukraine's Dnepropetrovsk Region.
The video taken from high altitude showed the two barely visible vehicles located in an open field. One Iskander missile - which has a range of 500km and a warhead weighing up to 700kg - delivered a direct hit on the Ukrainian hardware, producing a large blast, visible shockwaves and a rising fireball.

The HIMARS system, supplied to Ukraine by Washington since June 2022, can fire guided missiles with a range of about 80 km (50 miles) and, in some variants, extended-range rockets reaching 150 km (93 miles). The system has filled a key niche in Ukraine's arsenal and was used on several occasions for strikes on Russian civilians.
Meanwhile, the Ukrainian domestically-developed Neptune missile was originally designed to target surface ships and has a range of up to 280km.
Russia has consistently condemned Western arms shipments to Ukraine, arguing they only prolong the conflict without changing its outcome.
