Kherson region: The Armed Forces of Ukraine launched a missile attack on invaders’ training ground

22 February, 2024 The aftermath of one of the strikes on the Russian training ground in Podo-Kalynivka, Kherson region, February 21, 2024. A Ukrainian missile strike on the invaders' training ground killed dozens of Russian soldiers in the left-bank Kherson region. The video of the attack was released online.

On Wednesday, February 21, a series of missile strikes from the Ukrainian HIMARS rocket system was launched at the training ground near Podo-Kalynivka, Kherson region, resulting in injuries to Russian military personnel. According to the authors of the video, Russian soldiers from the 328th Airborne Regiment, the 810th Brigade, and the 810th Guards Naval Infantry Brigade of the Russian Armed Forces were training at the training ground. The operators of the Shark reconnaissance drone discovered the location of the Russian invaders 27 kilometers from the Dnipro River coast.

Subsequently, this unit adjusted the fire and performed objective control. GMLRS M30A1 missiles with a HE-Frag warhead filled with 180,000 tungsten carbide balls were used for the strikes. When the missile reaches the target, it explodes in midair, creating a dense area of destructive elements below it.

The video captures a total of three strikes on the Russian troop groups. The first hit a group of about 11 people, who probably died immediately from their injuries.

The image at the time of the explosion shows how dense a cloud of debris covered the area. Similarly, the next target was hit immediately after the first group - the same concentration of personnel.

There were about 20 people.

The authors of the video report that the operation killed about 60 Russian soldiers and officers.
