RT reported that a video released by the Russian Defense Ministry shows the Russian missile attack causing heavy damage to a Ukrainian military unit in the northeast of the country.
According to a statement on July 9 by the Russian Defense Ministry, the attack occurred near the village of Stetsovka in Sumy province, about 10 km north of the province's administrative center.
The Russian military believes that the Iskander-M missile attack destroyed a warehouse of artillery shells and 20 Ukrainian vehicles, killing 65 soldiers.
The video released by the Russian Defense Ministry was filmed by a drone using infrared cameras. Video shows a line of trucks standing still. After that, many explosions were seen in the area, suggesting that this could be a cluster bomb attack. Next, a large fire broke out in the forest next to the intersection after a secondary explosion.
The video began circulating on social media on July 8. Initial reports suggest that the high number of casualties was due to Ukrainian soldiers gathering at the site to check at the time of the missile attack.
The report emphasizes the importance of reconnaissance for the effective use of long-range weapons.
Since last week, the Russian military has released several videos of the use of Iskander missile systems to attack targets in Ukraine.
According to the report, these weapons successfully attacked 3 HIMARS rocket launchers equipped with ATACMS ballistic missiles in Kherson province, 2 patriot air launchers in Odessa province, 2 S-300 air launchers in Poltava province and military aircraft at several Ukrainian airports.
