A video of an aftermath of the strike on a training ground near Illovaisk, where a group of Russian UAV/FPV operators was located, appeared in the media.

Earlier today Russian sources reported about this strike, supposedly 24 Russians were killed as a result.

Ukrainian Defense Forces carried out a successful strike on a group of Russian servicemen in the occupied part of Donetsk Oblast (presumably, Ilovaisk training grounds) using HIMARS MLRS.

However, as Romanov points out, these were not just regular troops but UAV operators who assembled for training. As we know, UAV operators are being heavily targeted by the Defense Forces. The earlier source mentions 24 dead and 4 wounded as a result of the strike.

Romanov accuses the head of the training courses of NEGLIGENCE for sending invites through a Telegram bot. This could be easily intercepted by the Defense Forces.

...and send out an invite via telegram.

IMHO, that is Ukrainian false flag information.

There have been several successful attacks on ruzzian drone operators over the past couple of weeks.

My guess is Ukraine can intercept drone to home station radio signals and use those intercepts to locate the home station.

Russia might have a Strategic Petroleum Reserve, but Putin counts on the income he gets from shipping fuel out of his ports to sustain his failing economy. Destroying port storage sites, an excellent tactical move by Ukraine.
