Russian strikes on training grounds of Armed Forces of Ukraine

Earlier today, on June 22, Russians fired a missile at a training ground of one of the mechanized brigades of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The Russian attack resulted in deaths and injuries.

According to the command, Russians struck when the training ground was being used for military exercises. However, it was noted that when the air raid alarm was received, security measures were taken in time, which avoided numerous losses.

However, unfortunately, this is not the first time the Russian troops have attacked the training grounds and training centers of the Ukrainian Armed Forces with missiles.

In early June, the Russians fired an Iskander at the 239th Ukrainian training ground in the Dnipropetrovsk region. Then, according to the Ukrainian Land Forces, 12 people were killed and more than 60 others were wounded by the Russian strike.

A few days later, a training ground in the Poltava region was hit by Russian ballistic missiles. 2 people were killed.
