Ukrainian military to hold guided missile launches near Crimea

From November 1 to 4, Ukrainian military will carry out tests of guided missiles in the Kherson region. The airspace over the Black Sea will be closed because of the exercises, said spokesman of the Air Force of the Ukrainian Armed Forces Dmytro Strutynsky.

“Flight exercises will be held tomorrow in the Kherson Oblast to test launch guided missiles from anti-aircraft systems,” Strutynsky said.

Earlier, the Ukrainian authorities stated that the airspace over the Black Sea near the western coast of the Crimea is unsafe for air traffic because of the ongoing exercises.

The medium-range anti-aircraft guided missiles were tested at a testing range near Oleksandrivka in the Kherson Oblast exactly a year ago.
