Video shows the moment Russian soldiers reportedly fired a barrage of rockets at Ukrainian targets at night. The Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) said the unit used the Hurricane multi-launch rocket system (MLRS) to attack Ukrainian positions. The MoD shared footage Thursday of troops preparing the rocket-launch systems and shooting rockets into the nighttime sky. According to the Russian military, reconnaissance teams communicated the coordinates of the Ukrainian strongholds for artillerymen to launch a barrage of rockets. The MoD stated: «After receiving the coordinates of the targets from the military personnel of unmanned aircraft and intelligence data, the crews of the 220-mm Uragan multiple launch rocket systems of the Western Military District attacked the identified enemy positions.»
Zenger News contacted Russian and Ukrainian officials for comment but had not received a reply at the time of writing. Russian troops invaded Ukraine on February 24 in what the Kremlin is still calling a «special military operation.
