The Russians intended to launch these cruise missiles from surface ships of the Black Sea Fleet towards targets in Ukraine. The range of such a missile at sea is 375 km .
The Russian news agency TASS reported that the Ukrainians attacked civilian targets, that a school and a shop were destroyed and one person was injured.
