Over 100 Ukrainian Troops Аnd Foreign Mercenaries Eliminated At A Military Base West Оf Kiev

Russia has repeatedly warned foreign countries against allowing their citizens to travel to Ukraine in order to take part in the hostilities, stressing that anyone firing at Russian troops during the special op will be considered a valid target.

According to an official statement by the Russian Ministry of Defence, high-precision missiles were used to strike a Ukrainian base in Ovruch, in the Zhitomir region, after similar strike killed over 180 foreign mercenaries at a Yavorov military base earlier this week.

“High-precision air-launched missiles struck the training centre for covert operations forces of the Ukrainian military, where foreign mercenaries were based, near the settlement of Ovruch in the Zhitomir region”, Russian Defence Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov said on Sunday, noting that over 100 troops and mercenaries were killed.

At the same time, he noted that the Russian military eliminated a vast number of other military objects.

“Workshops at the Nizhyn repair plant used for the repair of Ukrainian armoured vehicles damaged in combat operations were destroyed with sea-based Kalibr cruise missiles launched from the waters of the Black Sea”, he stated, adding that Kinzhal hypersonic missiles launched from the airspace over Crimea had also destroyed a huge Ukrainian base for storing fuel and lubricants in the Nikolaev region.

This is the second major strike by the Russian military targeting foreign mercenaries in Ukraine: a week ago, up to 180 foreign mercenaries were killed in precision strikes against Ukrainian training centres located at the Yavorovsky military compound and near the settlement of Starichi.
