[Regnum] Russian military carried out a high-precision strike on the meeting place of the commanders of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) with foreign instructors in a restaurant in Krivoy Rog. This was reported on the evening of April 4 by the Russian Ministry of Defense.

“At 18:49, a high-precision missile with a high-explosive charge was launched at the location of a meeting with unit commanders and Western instructors in one of the restaurants in the city of Krivoy Rog,” the defense department’s Telegram channel said.

They specified that as a result of the attack, the enemy lost up to 85 soldiers and officers of foreign countries, as well as 20 units of motor vehicles.

Previously, Ukrainian media reported the sounds of explosions in the city.

The Russian military department has previously indicated more than once that the Russian Armed Forces in Ukraine only strike military facilities or related infrastructure. After March 18, when Russian President Vladimir Putin supported the US proposal to mutually cease strikes on energy facilities between Russia and Ukraine for 30 days, Russian troops stopped such attacks, although the Ukrainian Armed Forces constantly violate the moratorium.
