“High-precision, long-range air-based weapons of the Russian Aerospace Forces have destroyed the production buildings of the Artyom missile and space enterprise in Kyiv,” the ministry said in its daily briefing on the conflict in Ukraine.

Ukraine said one person had been killed in the strike yesterday, the first in the capital in nearly two weeks, which Guterres’s spokesman described as “shocking”.

Guterres toured Bucha and other Kyiv suburbs yesterday where Moscow is alleged to have committed war crimes.

The defence ministry said its forces had carried out a range of air strikes, destroying three power substations at Ukrainian railway hubs and a Tochka-U missile launcher that it said had carried out an attack on the Russian-held city of Kherson.
