Storm Shadow missiles launched by Ukrainian jets hit a Russian ground forces command base on Saturday, in what a source called a "heavy blow" to the Russian armed forces.
This strike contributes to Ukraine's campaign to liberate the Luhansk region from the illegal invasion of the Russian Federation and to prevent further Russian advance into Ukraine
According to the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, the loss of the headquarters will affect Russia's ability to command its forces in the adjacent Luhansk region.
"Strikes on Russian military command and control centers are creating confusion among Russian ground forces," the source said.
Russian military culture relies on micromanagement and centralized command, which means that the removal of such a headquarters could paralyze military decision-making for the next month.
