New video, captured by a drone over the battlefield in the occupied Kherson region, is said to show the attack carried out by powerful American weapons. A large group of what are said to be Russian soldiers are seen near a tree line.

A devastating new HIMARS missile attack has killed dozens of Russian soldiers, as shocking drone images taken from Ukraine appear to show.

If confirmed, it would be the second such attack by Ukraine in as many days, after Vladimir Putin was dealt a devastating blow on Wednesday with a HIMARS missile that reportedly killed 65 Russian soldiers during a military exercise. training.

New video, captured by a drone over a Russian training camp in the occupied Kherson region, is said to show the second attack carried out by Ukraine using powerful US-supplied weapons this week.

The clip begins by showing a gathering of people, supposedly Russian soldiers, in a clearing covered in tank tracks near a lush green forest.

Suddenly, as the drone’s camera surrounds the group with a target marker in the center of the screen, a large explosion detonates in the middle of the unit.

The video cuts to a second view of the open field as more soldiers are seen gathering in another group. The men look like ants from a distance as they get into position.

This time, the flash of a missile is seen a split second before another explosion erupts from the ground. The soldiers fall to the ground, as if struck by lightning.

The footage ends with a third explosion near the site of the first. Moments earlier, more people appear from the trees, apparently approaching the pile of bodies left by the previous attack.

A huge fireball rises into the air, and as the smoke clears, several bodies are seen strewn across the ground.

But the attack is not over yet. The video cuts to a second view of the open field as more soldiers are seen gathering in another group. The men look like ants from a distance as they get into position, clustering near a grove of trees.

After a second or two, some are seen writhing on the ground. Others remain still.

The images end with a third explosion, near the site of the first attack.

Moments before, more soldiers had appeared from the trees, apparently approaching the pile of bodies left by the previous attack.

The images, purportedly showing a training camp in Podo-Kalinivka, were released by the Ukrainian side on Thursday.

Podo-Kalinivka is home to the Oleshky Sands Nature Park, a large national park in southern Ukraine, which features expanses of sand. The images suggest that Russia is using the park as a training ground, and tank tracks are seen in the sand.

A Ukrainian channel claimed the victims were marines from Sevastopol in annexed Crimea, 40 miles south of the nature park, and reported that up to 200 died.

Other sources said the troops at the Kherson training ground were the 328th Airborne Assault Regiment, the 810th Marine Brigade and the 81st Self-propelled Artillery Regiment.

According to the video, the number of victims seems lower than that declared by the Telegram channel, but dozens of bodies can be seen in the images.

The ease with which they were attacked twice this week – when seven Russian fighter jets were also shot down – worries Moscow.

In yesterday's rout, troops and officers were lined up awaiting inspection by Major General Oleg Moiseev. Footage after Wednesday's attack was taken by horrified survivors.

‘The general outrage over the upcoming HIMARS attack against another meaningless formation [military] personnel in the DPR [Donetsk People’s Republic] We did not have time to pass when another formation followed up with another attack, but this time in the Kherson region,” the Military Informant channel reported.

‘And I repeat, of course, no one is to blame for anything…’ he continued.

“Like last time, the bombing was carried out from the HIMARS MLRS with M30A1 GMLRS missiles with tungsten balls that fire on the target in the air.”

Pro-war bloggers blame Russian commanders for marching and gathering their troops in formation, making them easy targets for precise American-made HIMARS missiles, which are guided by reconnaissance drones.

Horrified survivors took pictures after Wednesday’s attack.

It showed how dozens of bodies were left strewn across a charred, pockmarked field after the attack.

Pro-Putin war commentators have blamed General Moiseev for causing the mass deaths of his men. Russian sources reported that the precise HIMARS attack occurred moments before Moiseev arrived on the scene, devastating his company.

One furious online comment read: “One can only be surprised at the lack of learning from [commanders] in the second year of [the war].’

Another channel attacked: ‘He created this formation. He killed these men.

War reporter Andrey Rudenko lashed out at commanders like Moiseev for lining up their troops near the front line “simply to show their importance.”

He sarcastically posted: ‘There is a very high chance of taking a HIMARS MLRS rocket to what they call your head.

‘Therefore, take care of yourself and your subordinates!’

Prominent pro-Kremlin politician Vladimir Rogov criticized the “criminal practice” of parading soldiers in front of commanders on “missile-ridden terrain.”

Russia has not formally admitted to either attack this week, but both are accepted as damaging hits by Putin’s pro-war online channels.

But as Russia counted its losses from the attacks, they came after Putin boasted of a “victory” in seizing bombed-out Avdiivka, a key industrial city in the east.

Ukrainian soldiers entrenched around new positions outside the city say Russian forces are now advancing toward nearby cities and towns.

Russian forces secured Avdiivka after months of bombing reduced the city to rubble. It was Russia’s biggest battlefield victory in seven months, since its forces captured Bakhmut in May 2023.

The capture of Avdiivka, after months of little change in the front lines, signaled a shift in momentum as the second anniversary of the Russian invasion approaches.

President Vladimir Putin says Russian troops will advance further into Ukraine.
