Russian forces struck the M777 towed howitzer training center in Ukraine.

On the 4th (local time), Igor Konashenkov, spokesperson for the Russian Ministry of Defense, said in a regular briefing, "We struck the artillery training center in Stetskiuka, Sumy Oblast (northeastern Ukraine) with an air-launched precision missile."

Spokesperson Konashenkov claimed that foreign instructors were teaching Ukrainian soldiers how to use the 155mm M777 howitzer at this center.

The M777 is the most powerful and destructive artillery among the weapons NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) has provided to Ukraine. It is known that the United States supplied Ukraine with 90 M777 units.

Konashenkov also stated that in the Dachnoye area of Odesa Oblast in southern Ukraine, a foreign mercenary base was destroyed by a missile strike from Russian forces.
