The Russian army hits an important target, "tracking Zelensky..." Dnipro | Russian army | tracking Zelensky
According to the Hong Kong Asia Times website on July 30th, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported that the Russian military used "precision guided weapons" to strike a Ukrainian military command post located in the Dnipro region on the night of the 28th.
According to reports, Ukrainian President Zelensky inspected the Dnipro region on the 28th, awarded medals to the Commander in Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Valery Zaluryne, and met with some Ukrainian military commanders, including Lieutenant General Sersky and Director of the Intelligence Agency of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense, Kirilo Budanov.
Russian intelligence agencies closely monitor Zelensky's whereabouts. Therefore, Zelensky's itinerary of meeting with Ukrainian military leaders and intelligence agency leaders after arriving in Dnipro may have hinted at the location of the Dnipro regional command center.
Buildings damaged in the Dnipro region due to a Russian missile attack on July 28th
According to Ukrainian media reports, the target of the Russian military attack is a nearby residential building. However, some observers believe that the residential building was only a collateral damage caused by the Ukrainian anti-aircraft missile crash.
Some videos and photos circulating online show that the Russian military clearly hit the command post. The casualties of the Ukrainian army are currently unclear. There are reports that some people are still buried under the rubble. The local hospital has started calling on the public to donate blood, indicating a high number of casualties.
At present, there is no information indicating whether there were Ukrainian military commanders inside the building at the time of the attack, or whether any of them were injured or killed.
According to reports, outside the Ukrainian border, as the Ukrainian army began attacking targets within Russia, the war began to spread. In the past week, Ukrainians have launched another drone attack on Moscow, and Russia has stated that they have shot down the drones.
Before the Russian army launched an attack on the Dnipro region, the Ukrainian army launched an attack on a Russian military command post in Taganrog, Rostov Oblast, Russia. According to the Russian side, the incoming missile was shot down, but it crashed onto a building in the city. The weapon used by the Ukrainian army is an S-200 anti-aircraft missile that has been modified to strike ground targets.
The report pointed out that in the eyes of the Russian side, the attack on Taganrog was the most significant attack, as the target of the attack was a military command structure and the location of the attack was where Valery Grasimov, Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, and other military leaders had previously gathered. It is currently unknown whether the Ukrainian side launched the attack on July 28th due to obtaining information on the high-level positions of the Russian military.
At the same time, Ukraine's offensive is continuing and bringing huge costs to both sides, but Ukraine's losses are still greater.
