More than 65 Russian soldiers have been killed in a Himars rocket strike on a military base in the Donetsk region, it has been claimed.
Russian military bloggers reported that three Himars rockets struck the training ground of Russia’s 39th Separate Guards Motorised Rifle Brigade in the occupied village of Trudivs’ke in southern Donetsk, killing over 65 troops.
Pictures shared on social media showed dozens of bodies strewn across a field as others were lined up by survivors.
The strike was launched at around 9am on Tuesday when the military brigade was forming up, it is reported. An unknown number of Russian soldiers were injured.
