Russian Defense Ministry Spokesman Lieutenant-General Igor Konashenkov announced on Thursday that a precision strike conducted by Russia on the Ukrainian forces’ deployment site in Kramatorsk resulted in the elimination of two Ukrainian generals, approximately 50 officers, and around 20 foreign mercenaries and military advisers.
The strike targeted the temporary deployment site of the Ukrainian army’s 56th motorized infantry brigade during a staff meeting.
According to Konashenkov, Ukrainian troops have been making ongoing attempts to advance in three different directions. Over the past 24 hours, Ukrainian armed formations persisted in their efforts to advance in the Donetsk, Krasny Liman, and south Donetsk directions.
In addition to the strike in Kramatorsk, Konashenkov revealed that Russian forces also destroyed more than 25 Ukrainian troops in the Kupyansk area within the previous day.
The latest developments mark a significant escalation in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, with casualties reported among high-ranking Ukrainian military officials and foreign personnel. The situation continues to evolve as both sides engage in military operations and vie for control in various regions.
