Moscow, SANA-Russian forces Monday launched strikes by an Iskander tactical missile system against a Ukrainian arms depot and a foreign mercenaries\u2019 site in the Donetsk People\u2019s Republic (DPR) over the past day, Defense Ministry Spokesman Lieutenant-General Igor Konashenkov reported on Monday.<\/p>\n
“An Iskander tactical missile system delivered a strike against the arms depot and the foreign mercenaries\u2019 temporary deployment site located in the library building in Konstantinovka in the Donetsk People\u2019s Republic. The strike eliminated as many as 60 militants of the so-called Georgian legion and 15 items of equipment deployed on the adjacent territory. Another 20 mercenaries received heavy wounds,” the spokesman said.<\/p>\n
TASS said that the strike eliminated militants of the Georgian legion who were complicit in brutal tortures and killings of Russian soldiers near Kiev in March last year, the general specified.<\/p>\n
“The Russian Defense Ministry has information on each foreign mercenary complicit in the killings of Russian servicemen. All of them will face punishment they deserve,” Konashenkov said.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Russian forces eliminated over 60 Ukrainian troops in the Krasny Liman area over the past day, Konashenkov reported.<\/p>\n
“In the Krasny Liman direction, assault and army aviation aircraft and artillery from the battlegroup Center struck enemy manpower and equipment in areas near the settlements of Chervonaya Dibrova and Chervonopopovka in the Lugansk People\u2019s Republic, Terny and Serebryanka in the Donetsk People\u2019s Republic,” the spokesman said.<\/p>\n
The enemy lost over 60 Ukrainian personnel, two armored combat vehicles, three motor vehicles, a D-20 howitzer and a Gvozdika motorized artillery gun in that area in the past 24 hours, the general specified.<\/p>\n
