Last night, it emerged that the Ukrainian Armed Forces had delivered another successful strike once morest a Russian military compound near the front line. According to the channels of the Russian-linked messaging platform Telegram, shortly before the strike, the Russians were lined up to collect their medals, but the missile launched from the HIMARS system reached them earlier.

Meanwhile, Russian state media reports that on Wednesday evening in the village of Olenivka, the military leadership lined up Russian soldiers to honor the 155th Separate Marine Brigade of the Russian Armed Forces.

According to the Unian news agency, this is at least the third such effective strike in just over a week. It was previously reported that on February 20 at least 68 soldiers of the Transbaikalia 36th Guards Motorized Rifle Brigade were killed as a result of a missile attack by the Ukrainian Armed Forces on a training ground in the Donetsk region.
