Russia says it has destroyed warehouse for NATO weapons in Ukraine

(Reuters) - Russia said on Wednesday its missiles destroyed an ammunition warehouse for weapons donated by NATO alliance countries in Ukraine's western Lviv region.

The defence ministry said some of the ammunition was to be used for U.S.-produced M777 howitzers, a type of artillery weapon.

Reuters was not able to independently verify the report.
