Russian missile strike obliterates Ukrainian special forces camp – MOD (VIDEO)
Up to 70 Ukrainian servicemen have been killed in a Russian missile strike on a training camp for Kiev's special forces, the Defense Ministry in Moscow has reported. The camp was located during reconnaissance activities near the village of Shostka in Ukraine's Sumy Region, which borders Russia's Kursk Region, the ministry said in a statement on Tuesday. After receiving the coordinates, crews manning Russian Iskander-M operational-tactical missile systems carried out the strike against the facility, the ministry added. The attack killed up to 70 Ukrainian servicemen, including 20 instructors, while also destroying an ammunition depot and ten units of equipment, the statement read. Footage of the strike published by the ministry showed a major explosion inside the camp after one of the buildings was hit by a ballistic missile. In late April, Moscow announced the full liberation of the border areas of Kursk Region, which had been seized by Kiev's troops after they launched an incursion last August. According to Chief of the General Staff Valery Gerasimov, the Russian military is currently working to set up a security zone in the border areas inside Sumy Region to prevent new attacks on Russian territory. Earlier this week, the Defense Ministry announced the capture of the village of Maryino, meaning Russian forces now control five settlements in Sumy Region.
