Beginning on February 20, 2024, Ukrainian rockets struck twice in two days at Trdivske in the Volnovsky district of Donetsk Oblast, Ukraine, where Russian troops had gathered in the open for an inspection tour. In the aftermath of the attacks, about 65 people were killed, many Russian soldiers were scattered, and piles of Russian corpses were photographed.
Russian regiments and brigades were massed in broad daylight just 16 or 32 kilometers from the front lines of the two-year war between Ukrainian and Russian forces. That distance was within range of American-made HIMAS rockets at the Ukrainian army. Twice in the past two days, the Ukrainian military side used drones to spot and attack the Russian military assembly, killing many Russian soldiers.
The first attack by Ukrainian troops, shelled on February 20, targeted Russian soldiers of the 39th Motor Rifle Brigade of the Russian Army's 39th Separate Company of the Siberian Region in Trdivske, eastern Ukraine. Two companies of Russian infantry were lined up for speeches by their commanders and military commanders. A Ukrainian military drone drone arrived overhead and was on its way to fire HIMAS (Hymers). It was in the vicinity of Vfledar, just 32 km west of the front line. The HIMAS fired GPS-guided M30/31 rockets. Each rocket was filled with about 182,000 tungsten balls.
The following day, February 21, two Russian military units gathered again in the same field for training and inspection. Separate formations of the Russian military's 328th Air Assault Regiment for Siberia, the 810th Guards Naval Infantry Brigade, and the 81st Self-Propelled Artillery Regiment gathered at Oleshky Sands National Nature Park, just about 32 km south of the Ukrainian Marine Corps bridgehead at Krynski on the left bank of the Dnipro River.
A Ukrainian military drone drone spotted them, and Ukrainian artillery, probably HIMARS, took aim and attacked. About 60 more Russian soldiers were killed. Amid the blood and bodies, the US was the main supplier to Ukraine of about three dozen M30/31 rockets for HIMARS. However, Trump's Republicans in the U.S. Congress blocked further U.S. aid to the Ukrainian military after October 2024.
