russia has begun using Onyx anti-ship cruise missiles against ground targets, which may indicate a shortage of long-range, high-precision munitions. This is according to the latest report by the Institute for the Study of War.

The Russian Defense Ministry released a video showing Bastion coastal defense complexes firing Onyx missiles at ground targets, claiming that Russian forces struck a Ukrainian logistics center in the Odesa region on Tuesday, May 3.

The Institute for the Study of War noted that the use of missiles for a ground strike may indicate that Russian forces lack other types of high-precision, long-range ammunition needed to disrupt Ukraine's logistics.

In addition, experts inform that amid growing tensions in Transnistria, the occupiers conducted limited ground offensives in Zaporizhzhya Region near Huliaipil and intensified reconnaissance operations in the vicinity of Odesa.
