17:58 Returning to the theme of the night missile attack on the Starkonstantinov airbase in the Khmelnytsky region.

Comparing the published photos of the consequences and photos on the ground, we can conclude that one of the strikes hit the territory of the elevator, which is located about 1.2 km from the air base itself. In addition to the silos, there is a warehouse on the territory, which fell under the main blow. Judging by the footage, he burned out completely.

It can be assumed that the storage areas of the elevator were not used for their intended purpose, but acted as storage areas for the property of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. In addition, next to the elevator there is a railway line, which also enters the territory of the enterprise, and could be used to deliver goods that were subsequently stored in this warehouse.
