Putin's army reeling as deadly Ukraine missile strike 'wipes out key Kursk command post'

Russia suffered a major setback after Ukrainian missiles reportedly destroyed a key army military command post in Kursk.

HIMARS missiles reportedly took out the headquarters of Russia's elite 810th Marine Brigade, which was hidden in an abandoned five-storey civilian building in Lgov.

The devastating attack took place overnight on Christmas Day and caused heavy casualties, killing 17 marines.

Lieutenant Colonel Salim Pashtov, one of the brigade's senior officers, was reportedly among those killed.

Video footage purportedly of the missile strike shows a huge mushroom cloud of flames and smoke rising into the night's sky on the horizon.

Further images shot on the following morning show the extent of the devastating damage caused by the precision attack.

Cars can be seen still burning and rubble from nearby buildings is strewn all over the ground.

Ukraine's military confirmed the attack, in a statement posted to its Telegram channel.

"This fire strike is part of a comprehensive campaign to weaken the ability of the Russian Armed Forces to coordinate military operations against the people of Ukraine," they said.

The surviving 810th Marine Brigade troops have been withdrawn from Kursk. Rendered combat ineffective once again by Ukraine.

The devastating attack took place overnight on Christmas Day...

I'll have to monitor this thread today just to count the number of you neocon trash eaters who come out to condemn The Ukraine for this unholy attack on Christmas Day.

Another U.S. tax paid slaughter inside Russia, and on Christmas Day, using weapons designed to defend America. When did we declare war on Russia?

Imagine if Texas decided to secede from the union, and the Chinese sent an army and got involved in our affairs. 99.9999999% of Americans could care less if ukraine is ruled from Moscow or Kiev.

Ah, there's that number, prominently displayed. Again!

When I see that number, I generally know there is much MUCH more to this underneath the headline.

17 guys in any army being killed in a war isn't going to send that army "reeling".

Stupid headline.

The 17 is just a marker. This is a FF story.

IMHO.
