Military expert debunks Russia’s claim of civilian target in Ukraine’s strike on Lgov

He shared his opinions with Espreso TV.

“The strike was aimed at an exclusively legitimate military target. We are talking about the Lgov College, a training base for UAV operators. The college was not only used for training UAV operators, but also for logistics warehouses where UAVs were stored,” Sniehyrov explained.

According to the military expert, the administration of the Kursk region announced in July 2024 that a UAV operator course was planned to be opened at Lgov College. The head of Rosaviatsia also made a pompous statement, claiming that there were plans to purchase drones.

“The attempts by the Russian side to claim that the strike targeted civilian infrastructure are completely untrue. The strike was carried out by a HIMARS MLRS with a tactical and technical range of up to 70 kilometers. This means that the Ukrainian Defense Forces are successfully eliminating Russian forces in the Kursk region using high-precision Western weapons,” Sniehyrov emphasized.

• Ukraine's Main Intelligence Directorate reported on the losses of North Korean troops in the Kursk region between December 20 and 24.
• 'Rangers' with the 6th Regiment of the Ukrainian Special Operations Forces captured a settlement in Russia's Kursk region through offensive actions.
