Russian troops conducted a missile strike on the command post of the 101st separate guards brigade of the Ukrainian General Staff near Korop village in the Kharkiv region. Casualties, including deaths and injuries among servicemen and commanding officers, were reported as a result of the attack.
The 101st Guards Brigade, known as an elite unit of the Ukrainian Armed Forces directly subordinated to the Chief Commander, had its command post destroyed within the responsibility zone of the Russian "North" group. Analysts believe that this strike could have a significant impact on the Ukrainian forces' command system in the region. The Ukrainian side has not yet officially confirmed the strike, but sources suggest that such actions are often linked to intelligence activities and preparation for future offensives.
