Russia says it has downed in Ukraine a long-distance rocket-propelled bomb recently supplied to Kyiv by the United States — a weapon seen as vital for a planned Ukrainian counter-offensive.
“Air defense downed… a GLSDB guided rocket” in the conflict zone, the ministry says in a statement, referring to a ground launched small diameter bomb which has a range of up to 150 kilometers (90 miles).
