The Russian assault groups were undergoing training, during which the soldiers were "practicing the coordination of their actions," she said.
"The operation was executed quite effectively; at least 60 invaders will certainly not return to combat positions, and we are still investigating the rest," the spokeswoman said.
Humenyuk declined to disclose the weapons used for the strike but emphasized that the Ukrainian Armed Forces "utilize all available weapons and power."
