On March 18, the Ukrainian Air Force attacked a command post operated by one of the units from the 3rd Motorized Rifle Division of Russia’s 20th Army in the Demidovka area, Belgorod region.

That’s according to the General Staff of Ukraine’s Armed Forces, Ukrinform reports.

As a result of the high-precision strike, the command post was fully destroyed.

"The enemy employed the facility to plan and conduct combat operations against units of Ukraine’s Defense Forces in Sumy region. Its liquidation significantly reduces the ability of units from Russia’s 3rd Motorized Rifle Division to effectively operate on the battlefield," the General Staff noted.
