The Security Service of Ukraine (SSU) and the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) launched an attack on a Russian secret base in the temporarily occupied city of Melitopol. According to RBC-Ukraine sources within the SSU, this missile attack resulted in injuries among Russian commanders.
As the source explained, the SSU first identified that the occupiers had set up their headquarters at a local motor plant. This information was passed on to the military, and the operation was executed.
As a result of the missile strike, the commander of the 58th Russian Army, operating in the Zaporizhzhia region, and their chief of staff were wounded. In addition to the occupiers' leaders, several dozen enemy officers were also affected. According to the source, approximately ten of them were killed.
