Reports from several sources, as well as information from a well-known blogger, confirm a recent strike by two Iskander missiles on the location of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, where a column of fighters was preparing for rotation in the Kursk region. According to available data, the strike hit the area near the settlement of Ivolzhanskoye, where there was a concentration of servicemen from the 80th, 82nd and 47th brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

According to preliminary information, the attack resulted in heavy losses: 36 people were reported killed, while there were also a significant number of wounded, several of whom are in serious condition. Information on losses and consequences is still being clarified.

This is not the first time that Ukrainian formations in border areas have been subjected to missile strikes on the eve of a planned rotation or redeployment.
