Here's What We Know

A video showing the defeat of a battery of two Msta-S howitzers was initially published. They were destroyed in the Donetsk region.

Later, a second video appeared. The new video shows the defeat of four more self-propelled artillery units. It is possible that all six howitzers were part of the same division.

The HIMARS missile system with high-precision GMLRS rounds was used for the strike. They have a maximum launch range of about 80 km.
