Contained in 408m aid package, missiles have been used twice against Russian forces
-
WASHINGTON - The US in recent weeks secretly shipped long-range missiles to Ukraine for use in its battle to fight off Russian invaders, and Ukraine has now used them twice, a US official said on April 24.
The missiles were contained in a US$300 million (S$408 million) military aid package for Ukraine that US President Joe Biden approved on March 12, said the US official, speaking on condition of anonymity. The official would not say how many of the missiles were sent.
The missiles were used for the first time in the early hours of April 17, launched against a Russian airfield in Crimea that was about 165km from the Ukrainian front line, the official said.
The official said Ukraine used the weapon a second time overnight against Russian forces in south-eastern Ukraine.
