The Russian Defence Ministry on Friday said that the Russian Armed Forces have disabled 118 military infrastructure facilities in Ukraine, Interfax news agency reported.

The ministry said 11 military airfields, 13 command posts and communication centres of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, 14 S-300 and Osa anti-aircraft missile systems and 36 radar stations were among the facilities put out of order.

Russian Defence Minister, Sergei Shoigu, had instructed Russia’s armed forces to “treat Ukrainian troops with respect” and create safety corridors for those servicemen who “have laid down their arms,” defence minister spokesman said.

On Thursday, Russian President, Vladimir Putin, authorised “a special military operation” in Donbass, and Ukraine confirmed that military installations across the country were under attack.

Later in the day, the ministry reported 83 facilities were disabled during the operation.
