RUSSIA has unleashed a hypersonic missile on NATO supply lines inside Ukraine in a desperate attempt to stop arms crossing the border.

Kalibr cruise missiles stuck the Beskydy railway tunnel in the Carpathian Mountains overnight, reports claim.

The missiles were launched from a warship in the Black Sea and was captured on camera by a family caught up in the horror.

They recorded the strike in Lviv region, reporting that two missiles had hit the area.

Ukrainian official Anton Gerashchenko and Lviv governor Maksym Kozytskyy confirmed the late evening attack.

“The goal is to try to disrupt the railway communication and stop the supply of fuel and weapons from our allies,” he said.

Russia also targeted a second tunnel, he said.

Meanwhile, Russian sources said the attacks had involved Kalibr missiles.

These hypersonic warheads were previously launched from ships in the Black Sea off the coast of Crimea at Ukrainian military infrastructure back in March.

Strikes were reportedly carried out using long-range precision weapons on the evening of March 19 and the morning of March 20 and hit a site in the city of Nizhyn in Chernihiv state, 116 miles northeast of the capital Kyiv in the north of Ukraine.

In April, images showed Kalibr missiles being loaded onto a submarine in Sevastopol naval port in annexed Crimea.

The extent of damage to the Beskydy tunnel was unclear.

The railway tunnel connects Ukraine to NATO state Slovakia, and provides a rail connection between Lviv and the EU.
