As a result of a successful attack by the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the command post of the 810th Separate Guards Marine Brigade (OBrMP) of the Russian Armed Forces, located in the city of Lhov, Kursk Region, almost two dozen Russian servicemen were killed. According to the StratCom of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, among the dead are mostly officers.
"According to detailed information, the building where the command post was located was partially destroyed. As a result of the strike, the deputy commander of the brigade and 17 other servicemen of the Russian Armed Forces, most of whom are staff officers, probably died," the report said.
Earlier it became known that Salim Muharbetovych Pashtov, the deputy commander of the 810th Marine Brigade of the Russian Federation, was eliminated as a result of the attack on Lhovo. This was reported by his sister on the VKontakte social network.
The day before, the StratCom of the Armed Forces reported a successful strike on the command post in Lhovo. Russia commented on the attack, saying that four people died as a result of the attack, and five more were injured.
Lhov is located 28 kilometers from the state border of Ukraine, so both barrel and rocket artillery can reach it. As noted by the Russian propaganda media, the strike was carried out from the HIMARS multiple rocket launcher system.
