Russian Armed Forces launched a group strike using cruise missiles and drones at the locations of foreign mercenaries and training sites for Ukrainian saboteurs, the Russian Defense Ministry said on Monday.
"The past night, the Russian armed forces carried out a group strike using high-precision long-range weapons and strike unmanned aerial vehicles at the points of temporary deployment of foreign mercenaries and training of sabotage groups of the Ukraine military," the ministry said.
All targets have been hit, and the objective of the strike has been achieved, the ministry added.
Ukraine launched its latest counteroffensive in early June. Three months later, Russian President Vladimir Putin said the Ukrainian counteroffensive had failed, with Ukraine suffering over 71,000 casualties. Several Western officials have also admitted that the Ukrainian counteroffensive has not been successful.
