Ukrainian police impound Russian Navy cruise missiles

10 Jul, 03:40 PM

Police in the Ukrainian city of Sevastopol on Wednesday evening detained a column of heavy duty trucks carrying Russian Navy cruise missiles without the necessary permits, the UNIAN agency said.

The column contained three rocket carriers, security vehicles and a firefighting truck.

When the Russian servicemen were ordered to show their cargo to the police they refused, citing orders from top officials.

The check did take place in the end, and revealed that the Russians were driving cruise missiles across the city without any written permits. This is a breach of the agreement signed by Russia and Ukraine and the conditions of the Russian Fleet's tenure in Ukrainian territory.
