A Russian missile strike on a Ukrainian training unit killed three servicemen and injured 18, amid ongoing military tensions.
(Reuters) -A Russian missile strike on a Ukrainian training unit on Tuesday killed three servicemen and injured 18, Ukraine's Ground Forces said.
"Today, July 29, the enemy launched a missile strike on the territory of one of the training units of the Ground Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine," the Ground Forces said in a statement on Telegram.
"Despite the security measures taken, unfortunately it was not possible to completely avoid losses among the personnel. As of 21:30, it is known that there are three dead and 18 wounded servicemen."
The report gave no indication where the attack had taken place. But military bloggers suggested it had occurred near the country's northern border in Chernihiv region.
