Ukrainian artillery has struck a headquarters of Russia’s shadowy Wagner paramilitary group of mercenaries in eastern Ukraine, reports say.
The attack in Popasna was reported by Serhiy Hayday, Ukrainian governor of Luhansk region, and several pro-Kremlin war reporters.
The number of casualties is not clear and details remain sketchy. Photos said to show the damage were posted on the Telegram messaging service.
Wagner has been linked to war crimes.
#Ukraine: Footage showing that the Russian Air Force Ka-52 attack helicopter was indeed hit by Ukrainian fire, possibly a MANPADS.
It seems that the crew probably survived, but the aircraft is unlikely to fly again any time soon. https://t.co/NcFC1Y5IJs pic.twitter.com/BKOUYOBWSg
