The Kh-59 missile (Kh-59MK2 modification) with a range of up to 280 km is one of the types of weapons that the Russian Aerospace Forces most often use to strike military and civilian targets in Ukraine. The Chernihiv, Sumy, Kharkiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson oblasts suffer the most from the use of such weapons.Read also: Russia's large landing ship Kostiantyn Olshanskyi hit by Neptune missile, Ukrainian Navy says
