Ukrainian forces claim to have attacked and destroyed a Russian military convoy that crossed the border into Ukraine during the evening on Saturday. President Petro Poroshenko disclosed the event during a phone call with U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron, before announcing the news on his official website.
A statement from the Russian Foreign Ministry also confirmed that the strike had taken place, but they conveyed a more aggrieved tone and denied that anything was destroyed. They also deny that Russian vehicles even crossed the border into Ukraine, and say the incursion was on their side of the border. Ukrainian customs officials have gone across the border to inspect the convoy, but reports say the trucks are mostly empty.
The Ukrainian military officials say they tracked the movements of what's being described as a Russian armored column - one that appeared to be accompanying a fleet of trucks carrying humanitarian aid - and then destroyed part of it with its artillery when it crossed the border.
hivi kwanini mtu akipigwa hata kama amevimba kabisa lakini hukanusha hajapata kipondo?!
