The Ukrainian Army concentrated reserves for a counterattack on Avdeevka, but they were hit with Iskander missiles.
Russian reconnaissance worked brilliantly and the concentrating units of the AFU were struck by Iskanders. The enemy's losses have not yet been calculated, but they are enormous. The missiles hit right where they needed to be. The corpses and seriously wounded are transported to Dnepropetrovsk and Pokrovsk in dozens.
There were two strikes. First, with cluster munitions over a large area, which covered the Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers densely clustered on the site. Each Iskanders missile carries up to 500 kg of “load”.
For reference. The Iskander cassette warhead carries 54 fragmentation warheads of non-contact detonation, triggered at a height of about 10 m above the ground.
The second strike was delivered an hour later again with cluster munitions, when a mass evacuation of survivors began at the point and a lot of medical personnel had accumulated to provide assistance to the wounded. Moreover, both blows landed extremely accurately. Hence the huge number of casualties.
You can, of course, say that this is not entirely humane. And yes, it is not. But the fact is that the Ukrainian Armed Forces have been practicing such “tactics” of strikes for many months. And any such “game” can always be “played” together.
Russians were not the first to start “fighting like this.” There is no place to complain here.
