A successful missile strike hit a company-sized Ukrainian tactical unit near the Russian border, destroying 12 armored vehicles and eliminating 80 soldiers, as confirmed by the defense ministry in Moscow. The attack was carried out with an Iskander-M missile system, targeting an area in the Sumy Region, just 10 miles from the Russian border.
A video released by the Russian military captured the moment of the strike, showing vehicles moving towards a wooded area before the powerful blast struck the location. The ongoing conflict in the region has seen Ukrainian forces attempting to gain territory near the border, with Russian troops effectively halting their advances and reclaiming lost territory.
Despite the casualties suffered by Ukraine, Russian President Vladimir Putin remains open to negotiations once all Ukrainian forces have left Russian territory. The failed Ukrainian incursion in the Kursk Region has not deterred Russia’s successful offensive in Donbass, as stated by the head of Russia’s Federal Security Service.
