The Russian military base was located at the former Sokil instrument-making plant.

At the same time, local residents posted photos and videos of the aftermath of the strike on social networks.
Photos from the town of Nova Kakhovka show a pillar of smoke rising above the area of the plant.
The exact number of Russian casualties as a result of the strike is unknown, but eyewitnesses claim that the plant has been completely destroyed.
“In short, there is no Sokil plant anymore, that’s all. Everything inside was bombed out,” says an eyewitness in one of the videos.
Later, Kherson Regional Council member Serhiy Khlan confirmed there had been a Ukrainian strike on the plant.
