Ukraine’s armed forces confirmed a Russian missile strike, colliding with a military training unit, causing several casualties.
The Ukrainian Ground Forces said late on Tuesday that three service personnel were killed and 18 were injured.
The army did not reveal where the training ground was located, although a Ukrainian war reporter, Andrei Tapelenco said it was in the Chenivi region to the north of the Kiev, which is the border of both Russia and Belarus.
The Russian Ministry of Defense released a video of the fact that the claim it had made was a strike by an Iskander ballistic missile in a wild area which included more than 20 cluster-type blasts.
The video could not be verified immediately, but the Russian mod claimed that the number of Ukrainian casualties was far more than the Ukraine’s army. There is no word ahead of the army since the end of Tuesday.
“Despite security measures, unfortunately it was not possible to avoid damage among personnel,” Ukraine’s grassroots forces said in a statement on social media.
This is the third Russian attack on the Ukrainian training unit in more than two months.
Six soldiers were killed in an Iskander missile attack on a camp in Sumi’s Northern border area and another strike killed 12 people and injured another 60 last month.
Protecting Ukrainian troops on practice is particularly sensitive to military, stating that “the action or inactivity of the authorities” gave rise to death or injuries in the missile strike of Tuesday evening.
Ground forces commander Mychelo Drapeti resigned after last month’s deadly attack, saying that the victims were “young people from a training battalion” and most of them were in shelters at that time.
