Twelve Russian officers are thought to have been killed in a single rocket strike as Ukraine's armed forces inflict punishing losses with American-supplied weapons.
The attack targeted a command post in at Chornobaivka Airport, near the occupied southern city of Kherson, and is rumoured to have killed at least one general and one colonel. It is thought to have been carried out using US HIMARS rockets.
Video shows what appears to be an ammunition dump at the base exploding, as Russian Telegram channels report Putin is infuriated at the inability of Russia's S-400 anti-air systems to protect his armed forces.

Russian state TV war reporter Alexander Sladkov - who has links to the shadowy Wagner Group and typically posts pro-Kremlin propaganda - wrote overnight that Ukraine 'has struck several times at our decision-making centres with results.'
He added: 'The centres are small but important. I will not write here where, when, how much, and who [was hit] in order not to give out military secrets.
'My question is simple: when will this bull**** end?
'Can you **** the military-industrial complex so that we finally have the preventive [means to stop these missile attacks].'
One report claims Putin is so enraged that he is looking for scapegoats and turning on his own allies over the failure of the acclaimed S-400 missile defence system to perform effectively in the war.

The Daily Mail will soon be reporting that all Russians, men, women and children have been killed by the Ukrainian armed forces. A glorious day for the Great Reset!
I saw a map that showed the distribution of forces just based on cell phones. It’s spooky what they can do now.
“ occupied Kherson”
If that general is a target, then they didn’t need a high tech Weapon!........................
“ occupied Kherson”
Look, the city isn’t even partially leveled, destroyed, demomished, etc. I thought that every city the Russians attacked was laid waste. The media wouldn’t lie, or exaggerate.... would they?
KABOOM! And up in smoke!
Obviously, US HIMARS rockets are FAT-SEEKING.....................
Yep. The new technologies have changed everything. Land armored fighting vehicles, naval surface combatants and many piloted aircraft are obsolete death traps.
Temporarily-occupied Kherson.
Kherson was handed over to the Russians by Ukrainian collaborators early in the war.
