Ukrainian forces continue to target and destroy key Russian military equipment, with two Grad multiple rocket launchers (MLRS) recently eliminated in the Donetsk and Kherson regions.

In the Donetsk region, soldiers of the SSU Special Operations Center spotted a Russian Grad MLRS in the Pokrovsk area.

Using FPV kamikaze drones, the Ukrainian defenders successfully hit the rocket launcher, resulting in a powerful explosion.

The footage of this precise strike was shared by volunteer and blogger Serhii Sternenko.

OSINT researchers from the WarArchive Telegram channel pinpointed the location south of the village of Novoselivka Persha.

Meanwhile, in the Kherson region, the 140th Marine Reconnaissance Battalion of the Ukrainian Marine Corps destroyed another Russian Grad launcher.

The operation was a coordinated effort between reconnaissance drones and artillery.

Footage released by the battalion shows a Russian Grad MLRS moving between positions in a wooded area before being hit. The impact ignited the rocket launcher, causing its munitions to explode.

The strike took place east of the village of Chelburda, as confirmed by the WarArchive Telegram channel.

These operations have dealt a significant blow to Russian artillery capabilities in the region
