An arms depot was attacked in the city of Nowa Kachowka, the southern command announced on Tuesday night on Facebook. About a howitzer and military technology were destroyed. In addition, the enemy “lost” more than 50 soldiers.
The state-run Russian news agency Ria Novosti reported on Tuesday morning two dead, four missing and dozens wounded after the attack, citing the pro-Russian administration deployed in Nowa Kakhovka. Many people were buried under the rubble. Hundreds of houses were also damaged. The information provided by both sides could not initially be checked independently.
Ukraine has been defending itself against a Russian war of aggression for four and a half months now. Kyiv has recently announced several times that it intends to reconquer areas that have been lost since then – also with the help of Western weapons. Civilians were called to flee. According to Russian information, a US-supplied Himars rocket launcher was used in the Ukrainian attack on Nowa Kakhovka. However, that too could not be verified at first.
