EKO HOT BLOG reports that Russia has said it will respond to any Ukrainian attacks on Russian territory by striking Kyiv with more missiles.
The “number and scale” of attacks will go up if its own settlements become targets, the ministry said.
The warning came as Russia announced a missile strike on a military factory near Kyiv, which it claimed was in response to a Ukrainian helicopter attack on a Russian village.
Ukraine denies it carried out the attack.
“Tonight, sea-based high precision long-range “Kalibr” missiles hit a military facility in the outskirts of Kyiv,” Russian defence ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov said.
The strike targeted Ukraine’s Vizar military facility that was producing and repairing anti-aircraft and anti-ship missile systems, Konashenkov added, warning that Russia would intensify missile attacks on Kyiv if Ukraine continued what he described as attacks on Russian land.
He said: “The number and scale of missile strikes against objects in Kyiv will increase in response to the commission of any attacks of a terrorist nature or sabotage on Russian territory by the Kyiv nationalist regime.”
Andrei Sizov, a 47-year-old owner of a wood workshop near the factory, told the AFP news agency that the blasts came overnight.
“Around 1:30am, my security guard called me because there was an air strike,” he said.
“There were five hits. My employee was in the office and got thrown off his feet by the blast.”
