"Deadly Strike: Ukrainian Forces Target Russian Troops Waiting for Inspection"

A Ukrainian long-range missile strike reportedly hit a Russian infantry battalion waiting for a ceremonial inspection, killing dozens of soldiers, including junior commanders, and wounding at least 300 others. The attack, blamed on US-made HIMARS precision-guided missiles, occurred near the Ukrainian town of Trudivske, with photos and videos showing heavy Russian casualties. The strike has not been officially commented on by either side, but both Ukrainian and Russian milbloggers described the incident as accurate. The alleged location site of the attack had been used by Ukrainian troops for training and was captured by advancing Russian troops in 2022.
