Russian officials on Sunday claimed they struck another Ukrainian base that purportedly served as a training center for special operations forces, killing more than 100. At the same time, Ukrainian authorities alleged Russian forces bombed an art school in a besieged city.
Defense Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov said via state-run media that “high-precision air-launched missiles“ struck a base in Ovruch in the northern Zhytomyr Region, located in north-central Ukraine. Those who were killed in the airstrike were ”foreign mercenaries who arrived in Ukraine” in recent days, he said, according to state-backed RIA Novosti.
