A Russian rocket strike on a training exercise in the Sumy Border region of Ukraine has killed six soldiers and wounded more than 10 others, says the National Guard of Ukraine.
The Russian Ministry of Defense had previously released a video that claimed to show an Iskander rocket attack on a training camp, and State News Agency Tass said that a maximum of 70 people had died.
The Sumy region has come up with bombing and Ukraine launched a months-long occupation of part of the Russian neighboring Kursk region from there.
The Ukrainian army said that the purpose of the offensive was to create a buffer zone to protect Sumy, but some have complained about the scale of military losses.
Separately, the Kremlin said that President Vladimir Putin had visited officials in Kursk the previous day, in his first visit to the region since Ukrainian troops were pushed out of the region.
He met volunteers, as well as acting local governor Alexander Khinshtein, and visited a nearby nuclear power plant, Staatsmedia reported.
The deadly Russian strike on Ukrainian soldiers in Sumy was confirmed early on Wednesday by the National Guard of Ukraine, who said the attack took place while the unit performed exercises during a shooting range. The commander was suspended and an official investigation started, it added.
The non -rewarded Russian military video showed dozens of soldiers who ran a path near a wooded area, followed by an explosion and a large plume of smoke.
Research by BBC Conversion showed that the training camp was focused in the far north of the Sumy region, in a way south of the Russian border.
The attack comes as a serious blow to the Ukrainian army, and the National Guard said that it had previously developed an “algorithm of actions”, as well as orders to treat the threat of air strikes and people in one place.
Italy ready to help conversations when Vatican agrees with Trump War Mediation Plan
The general staff of Ukraine said this week that it had thwarted Russia’s offer to set up a “security zone” in Sumy region, and argued that the Kursk operation had “strategic significance”, forcing Russia to distract his “most capable units” to tackle the offensive.
The Kremlin also sent thousands of North Koreans soldiers to the region in an attempt to reclaim the area.
Last week, however, a battalion commander called Oleksandr Shyrshyn was quoted as criticism of the “idiotic tasks” established by military leadership, as well as unjustified losses.
The hope for a threatening ceasefires fades, despite discussions at a low level between Ukraine and Russia in Istanbul last Friday.
Although President Donald Trump suggested that the Vatican could mediate further, the Vatican said that the idea of hosting or even mediating conversations was more a lot than any concrete plan.
The American State Secretary Marco Rubio said that he expected Russia to present his “broad conditions that would enable us to be in the direction of a ceasefire -but Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zenskyr Zelensky has said to buy only” time to continue his war and occupation “.
