The Russians have inflicted a new strike on one of the training grounds of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Despite the security measures taken, losses could not be avoided. Emergency services are working at the scene of the attack. The Operational Command"South" reported this on the social network.

It is noted that this morning, during a massive combined attack on Ukraine, Russian invaders struck with two ballistic missiles the territory of one of the training units of the Ground Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. This unit is located in the rear and relatively calm part of our country.

"Due to enemy fire, despite warnings, moving to shelters, and other safety measures taken, losses could not be completely avoided. Relevant emergency services are working on the scene," the report says.

In this regard, the wounded are promptly provided with all necessary medical assistance.
