"Ukrainian Missile Strike Kills Dozens of Russian Troops Waiting for Inspection"

At least 60 Russian troops were reportedly killed in an air strike on a training area in occupied eastern Ukraine, with survivors claiming they were hit by two HIMARS missiles. The strike occurred just before Russian President Vladimir Putin met with his Defense Minister, and reports suggest it targeted members of the 36th motorised rifle brigade awaiting the arrival of a senior commander. In a separate development, a pro-Russian military blogger, Andrey Morozov, known as Murz, has reportedly taken his own life after being forced to remove a report about Russian losses in recent battles. Russia's military rarely reports casualties, but some pro-Russian military bloggers have regularly done so, and Ukraine has also spoken of thousands of Russian troops killed in recent battles.
