The AFU confirmed the attack. Natalia Gumenyuk, the spokesperson for Ukraine's Defense Forces South, said that “at least 60 invaders will certainly not return to combat positions.”

According to the Ukrainian OSINT project DeepState, the target was a training ground near the village of Podo-Kalynivka in the Russian-occupied part of Ukraine’s Kherson region.

A source in Ukraine’s special services confirmed to BBC News Russian that the strike was near Podo-Kalynivka.
