The Ukrainian military conducted a precision air strike on a Russian 2nd Guards Army command post in occupied Novohrodivka, Donetsk Oblast, on 12 January, the Ukrainian Army’s General Staff reported.
The General Staff does not specify what weapons were used to attack the facility. The village is situated on the frontline well within the range of all Ukrainian aerial weapons – bombs, missiles, and drones.
According to the military statement, this operation continues a series of strikes on Russian command posts in the Donetsk direction.
“The Armed Forces of Ukraine demonstrate a high level of coordination and professionalism in detecting and destroying key command elements and military infrastructure of the enemy,” the General Staff noted.
This marks the third successful strike on Russian command infrastructure in recent days. On 10 January, Ukrainian defense forces reportedly hit a command post of the Russian 3rd Army Corps in Svitlodarsk, Donetsk Oblast. Earlier, on 8 January, Ukrainian forces struck a command post of Russia’s 8th Guards Combined Arms Army in occupied Khartsyzk, Donetsk Oblast.
Euromaidan Press was unable to independently verify the attack or confirm its results.
