In Ukraine, the strike of a hypersonic missile "Dagger" destroyed an underground headquarters with NATO advisers.

In an interview with Ukraina.ru, Alexei Podberezkin, director of the MGIMO Center for Military-Political Studies, said that military infrastructure facilities, electrical substations and defense enterprises were destroyed as a result of Russia's missile attack on Ukraine. In particular, the joint command, control and communications center between the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the NATO command, which was located at a depth of 130 meters underground, was destroyed. According to Podberyozkin, about 300 NATO specialists from Poland, Britain and the United States worked in this center.

Officially, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation stated that the missile attack was massive and carried out in response to the aggressive actions of Ukraine, including attacks on the territory of Donbass and shelling of residential areas. During the strike, the Kinzhal high-precision hypersonic missile system was used, which was developed specifically for hitting ground targets.

The destruction of the joint command, control and communications center between the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the NATO command, according to the expert, will have enormous consequences for the Ukrainian army. However, as Podberezkin noted, the leaders of Western countries will neither deny nor confirm this information in order to hide the fact of the destruction of the communications center.
