Attack on the Iskander

As reported by the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces on June 5, Ukrainian defenders carried out a missile strike on a concentration area of Russian missile troops near Klintsy in the Bryansk region.

From there a unit of the Russian 26th Missile Brigade was planning to launch missiles at one of Ukraine’s populated areas, presumably at Kyiv.

As a result of a coordinated operation, one Russian launcher detonated, and two others were damaged.
