It is worth noting that the Kh-59 missile is a Russian air-to-ground missile capable of covering a distance of up to 280 km. The Russian army frequently uses these missiles to shell military and civilian targets in Ukraine.

The Main Intelligence Directorate pointed out that during air attacks, the occupiers primarily terrorized the Chernihiv, Sumy, Kharkiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson regions with Kh-59 missiles.
