Ukraine is reported to have wiped out the entire command of Russia's 35th Brigade in a deadly missile strike.
The attack was carried out using HIMARS missiles on the brigade's headquarters in the eastern town of Selydove.
The town was captured by the Russians in October last year and lies just 11 miles northwest of the strategically important city of Pokrovsk.
The attack was filmed by Ukrainian drones hovering close to the building, housing the headquarters.
In a video posted to social media, a huge ball of flames rises from a building after the impact of the missiles.
Thick black smoke then billows skywards from the stricken building, where the brigade's command was reportedly billeted.
Later Russian military bloggers claimed that brigade's command had been killed in the attack.
One wrote: "Our brigade is in mourning. Our commanders have passed away. The commanders of our 35th brigade. All at once. The entire headquarters."

So now who will order the meat wave assaults in this sector?
I wonder who supplied them the intel.
What a stupid senseless debacle this war is.
nice, now take out all of Russias oil refineries and they wont be able to rebuild them for 10 years
When this is over, there will be no young men left alive in either Russian OR Ukraine.
Video at link:
Ukrainian forces targeted a pair of Russian Su-25 attack aircraft using MANPADS. One was shot down, and the pilot attempted to eject.
As a Mi-8 helicopter arrived to evacuate the downed pilot, Ukrainian FPV drones struck the aircraft, causing serious damage.
In the end, Russian forces abandoned their evacuation team, prioritizing the damaged helicopter over their own pilot and rescue crew. The Mi-8 crew decided that their aircraft was more valuable than the lives of those on the ground.

That may be what it takes to end the stupid.
Meh. These things happen in war.

They like their commanders well done. So, well done!
You guys believe such nonsense. I wish I could sell things to you :)
All of you living in the 1980s and not seeing what nato and w Europe are now.
SHAME on you
RE: What a stupid senseless debacle this war is.
I’ve said this from the very beginning. If America had good leadership, we could have brought the two sides to the negotiating table. A million lives would have been saved and millions more would not be displaced and families would not be grieving.
This!
From the article: “Details of the attack and its consequences have yet to be confirmed by both the Russians or the Ukrainians.”
Will this be yet another Ukrainian fabrication? Remember the ‘Ghost of Kiev?’ That much bragged-about fighter pilot who turned out to be footage of commercially produced game software?
Or remember when Zelensky insisted for many days that Russia fired a missile into Poland, to get the war started, even after Biden himself said it was a Ukrainian missile.
Oh yeah, lots of stories like that.
Maybe this story is true, maybe it isn’t, but the standards for veracity are so low that now, NO ONE verifies this story - not the Russian officials and not the Ukrainian officials. This is purportedly from an anonymous radio transmission (Mata Hari?)
Unfortunately, the Biden Administration wanted to profit off the war.
But if the MIC is all about permanent war, then why did they allow Biden to withdraw from Afghanistan in 2021?
So, what you are saying is that during a war, people outside of the area don’t really know what is going on?
Wow. That is shocking.
But the thought of a lot of Russians being killed is still music to my ears.
Ukraine is getting its collective butt kicked up and down the front line and your spouting delusions like this one?
Get your mind right, son. 😂
