As the Russian forces continue the harsh missile attacks, Ukraine has also put to work the advanced US HIMARS missile system, where with the M31 missiles with a range of 80 kilometers, they hit the Russian military targets.
On Saturday evening, the Ukrainian army followed the tactic of targeting Russian ammunition depots, but also shelling some civilian buildings that the Russians are using as military bases in Donbas.
This time the attacks targeted warehouses in Alchevsk, located about 51 kilometers from the front line in Luhansk.

This time, as happened earlier, the Ukrainians carried out attacks with the advanced American HIMARS missile system, where they hit Russian military targets with M31 missiles with a range of 80 kilometers.
The rockets were launched from the eastern part of the country called Bahmut, which is still under Ukrainian control. HIMARS hit Russian military depots in Shaktarsk.
And this is not the first time that the Ukrainians are using this advanced American missile system to hit the Russians.

Even from the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, they had called for as many such missile systems as possible to be sent to them.
One of the reasons is the unprecedented precision, as well as the medium range of action, which allows the Ukrainians to strike from a distance without having to get too close and endangering the lives of soldiers.
