Ukraine's Drone Spots Russian Positions In Its Southern Territory, Responds With Rocket Fire | Video

A drone assisted Ukrainian forces in targeting a military training facility of Russian troops in Zaporizhzhia Oblast, located in Russia-occupied southern Ukraine, said the Ukraine’s Southern Defense Forces.

After spotting the Russian positions,  a 660-pound rocket, reportedly packed with hundreds of grenade-sized submunitions, rained fire on them, said the Ukrainian forces, tagging a video of the rocket attack.

The video showed the drone footage of an initial explosion damaging the Russian facility followed by multiple blasts in the area. The Ukrainian forces claimed that there were about two dozen Russian soldiers in the area, without specifying the number of casualties during the attack.

“The defense forces of Southern Ukraine discovered and damaged the training site of the personnel of the enemy troops. At the time of the attack, there were about two dozen occupiers in this area. Glory to Ukraine!" the Ukrainian forces wrote in a Facebook post.

Reports indicate that there have been approximately seven attacks on Russian trainees along the 700-mile front line since February.

Ukraine’s Drone Attack On Russia

Earlier today, the regional officials tracking the conflict said that Ukraine launched a series of drones targeting Moscow and western Russia.

Sergei Sobyanin, the Mayor of Ruissian capital, said that Russia’s air-defence units destroyed at least one drone flying towards Moscow. According to preliminary information, there was no damage or casualties where debris fell in the Ramensky district of the Moscow region.

Drone debris sparked several short-lived fires in the Lipetsk region in southwestern Russia, the region’s governor said. No injuries were reported, he added. Governors of the Bryansk and Oryol regions, also in western parts of Russia, reported that air defence units destroyed several drones there.

Ukraine claims it has killed about 6.7 lakh Russian troops since the war began in 2022. The Ukrainian Defence Forces said on Saturday that they have destroyed 144 Russian artillery brigades, equivalent to $ 8 billion, this year.
