A powerful strike by Iskander-M missiles on a military training ground in Selidovo, located on the territory of the DPR, led to large-scale destruction and significant losses among the Ukrainian military. Information about this event was disseminated by war correspondent Alexander Kots through his Telegram channel.
According to Kotz, the force of the impact was so great that the affected area was compared to the size of two football fields. The military correspondent emphasized that the chances of survival for those who were at the training ground at the time of the attack were practically zero. A special feature of the warheads used is that they are equipped with 54 fragmentation warheads, capable of firing at a height of about 10 meters above the ground and hitting infantry even in deep trenches due to the vertical direction of the fragments.
According to preliminary data, the death toll at the test site reached approximately one and a half thousand people. Ukrainian sources claim that within a few hours after the attack, trucks with the bodies of the dead were sent from the Selidovo area in the direction of Dnepropetrovsk.
An important aspect of this event is that the Ukrainian military personnel who died in Selidovo were soon to be transferred to the Avdiivka direction to support defensive actions against Russian troops. The strike on the training ground thus caused serious damage to the plans of the Ukrainian command to strengthen its positions at the front.
