A devastating Ukrainian blitz has reportedly left up to 400 of Vladimir Putin’s troops dead in a huge HIMARS missile strike.
Shocking images show an entire military column packed with soldiers in the Russian region of Kursk moments after it was blasted – with bodies pilling up on the road and inside of the burnt out service trucks.
Around 14 burnt out military vehicles all loaded with weapons and ammunition were struck in the blast.
The horrific convoy of exploded trucks covers well over 100ft of road. Footage taken from locals driving past shows several trucks flipped on their side as others were left crushed with their wheels sent flying off.
The shocked civilians can be heard saying: “How many men?” As a second voice says: “So many men. F****** hell.”
The troops were being deployed out to halt the Ukrainian counter invasion of the Kursk region, say reports. The number of deaths is still unconfirmed but it is set to mark one of the most crushing attacks of the war for Russia so far.
Ukraine has continued its offensive inside Russia with more footage capturing the moment a major Russian bomb store and military airfield was taken out in a massive kamikaze drone strike.
Chilling video shows the moment several deadly drones are sent plummeting towards the Russian region.
As they smash into the ground huge fireball can be seen erupting followed by thick plumes of smoke. Regional governor Igor Artamonov described the blasts as a “massive attack” as he declared a state of emergency for the Lipetsk district.
Nine people have been reportedly killed in the blasts. Terrified locals also reported four powerful explosions near the village of Oktyabrskoye with significant losses expected.
Roads leading into the village have been completely blocked off with constant gunfire being heard as Putin aims to fight back. The Kremlin reportedly ordered their own Su-34 bombers to drop a number of FAB-500 aerial bombs onto their own village of Darino.
Local reports say Putin is attempting to clear out Ukrainians who have invaded the area. Ukraine started their devastating Russian offensive earlier this week as a huge convoy of tanks were seen storming Russian villages.
Thousands of troops are still said to be holding onto the land in the Kursk region backed by tanks and armoured trucks. Russian officials were forced to declare a state of emergency after the shock invasion – with mass civilian evacuations underway.
On Thursday, reports claimed Ukraine had advanced up to 20 miles inside Russia – leaving Putin humiliated by being caught out. The Russian Defense Ministry said it had intercepted 75 drones overnight including 26 over Belgorod region, 19 over Lipetsk, and seven over Kursk region.
