A Russian missile strike on a Ukrainian military training ground in the Ground Forces has killed three soldiers and injured 18 others, according to reports from the region. The attack occurred on the morning of July 29, as the conflict in Eastern Ukraine continues to escalate. The exact location of the strike was not immediately disclosed, but officials have indicated that the training ground is situated near a critical supply route, raising concerns about the potential impact on military operations.
Ukrainian authorities confirmed the casualties and expressed their deep sorrow over the incident. The Ministry of Defense has called for increased international support, emphasizing the need for additional resources to counter the ongoing Russian aggression. Meanwhile, the Kremlin has not commented directly on the strike, though it has reiterated its stance that the conflict is about ‘denazification’ and ‘de-occupation’ of territories under Ukrainian control.
The incident has sparked renewed calls for a diplomatic solution, with some Western leaders suggesting a potential ceasefire to address the humanitarian crisis. However, both sides remain entrenched in their positions, with no immediate signs of de-escalation. As the conflict drags on, the international community continues to monitor the situation closely, hoping for a resolution that minimizes further casualties and damage.
