Ukrainian missile strike ‘kills more than 100 Russian soldiers who had grouped together’

A Ukrainian missile strike killed more than 100 Russian soldiers who had grouped together during the Battle of Soledar, it has been claimed.

The Russian soldiers had been in the midst of a fierce gun battle in the town of Soledar, eastern Ukraine, when Ukrainian troops launched a Soviet-era Tochka-U missile at the group. 

Ukraine’s military said more than 100 Russian soldiers ‘went together to Hell’ in the coordinated attack, which involved special forces, gunners and rocket launchers.

Heavy fighting has broken out in Soledar, once a bustling salt-mining town in eastern Ukraine, and the ground is now scarred from a relentless stream of missiles and gunfire as Russian forces try to take control of the nearby and key city of Bakhmut.
