Ukraine says Russian hypersonic missile hit 'area of' major air base

KYIV (Reuters) -A Russian hypersonic missile struck the "area" of Ukraine's major Starokostiantyniv airbase on Monday morning, Kyiv said in a rare admission, after a drone and missile attack that also targeted the capital.

The latest strike on the Starokostiantyniv airfield in the western Khmelnytskyi region, which is often attacked by Russia, came a day after the Dutch defence minister said the Netherlands would supply Ukraine with more F-16 jets in the coming months.
