Around 600 Russian missiles launched since invasion began: US defense official
Approximately 600 Russian missile launches have taken place since the invasion of Ukraine began on Feb. 24, a senior defense official said.
They could not corroborate any reports of the use of cluster munitions or thermobaric weapons.
Ukrainian air and missile defenses are still effective and in use, the official said, though the airspace over Ukraine is contested.
Both sides have taken losses to aircraft and missile defense inventories, the defense official added, and while they did not reveal exact numbers, they believe both Russia and Ukraine still have a majority of their air defense systems.
The official also said Russian forces are still trying to advance across the north and east of Ukraine but are being met with strong Ukrainian resistance. The convoy is still stalled.
