A series of Russian missile strikes resulted in extreme losses of manpower and military hardware for the Kiev regime forces.
A Ukrainian train carrying armored vehicles, as well as a deployment area where soldiers of two Ukrainian Armed Forces’ (UAF) brigades were positioned, was hit by a Russian missile strike.
According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, this attack was carried out using Iskander ballistic missiles after reconnaissance managed to detect the area where armored vehicles of UAF’s 38th marine brigade were being loaded on a train to be moved to the frontline.
“The target’s coordinates were immediately provided to the crew of a ground-based missile system who then carried out a precision strike. The loading area was destroyed as a result of this strike,” the ministry said.
