Ukrainian Armed Forces have claimed that they have killed 58 Russian soldiers and destroyed 4 Russian ammunition depots in Southern Ukraine. Kyiv's missiles and artillery units conducted two strikes on Russia's command post on Sunday. Field ammunition depots in the area around Chornobaivka have been destroyed by Ukraine.
Russia has lost more than 50 soldiers, claimed Ukraine according to the preliminary investigation. It also revealed that Russia's two Msta-B howitzers, one Zhitel, mobile truck-mounted jamming communication station, three armored vehicles and 12 other vehicles were destroyed.
Four Ammunition Depots Destroyed
Russia's three ammunition depots in Kherson Oblast and one in Mykolaiv Oblast were also destroyed.
The Operational Command South said, "The enemy continues to conduct combat actions from occupied positions. Due to the large losses, there has been a significant deterioration of the morale and psychological state of the Russian troops in the Kherson region in the last week," according to Ukrinform.
15 Ukrainians Killed In Russian Strike
It came as 15 people were killed after Russia launched a series of rockets on the town of Chasiv Yar in eastern Ukraine. Rockets hit a five-story building in the town, killing more than a dozen and wounding many. Russia has stepped up its assault on the town of Sloviansk.
Andriy Yermak, the chief of staff to Ukraine's president, said the strike was "another terrorist attack" and that Russia should be designated as a "state sponsor of terrorism" as a result, according to The Guardian.
Ukraine claimed that Uragan rockets, fired from truck-borne systems, hit the building.
Three people were still trapped under the ruins while five were recovered from the rubble. Attempts are underway by Ukrainian emergency services to rescue three people.
Russia is accused of targeting civilian residences in missile strikes. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in a video address on Saturday stated that Kyiv has evidence, which proves that Moscow shells residential areas whether those are close to front lines or not.
