A video claims to show the aftermath of a Ukrainian Storm Shadow missile strike on the command post of Russia's Kursk forces, reportedly carried out on Dec. 30.
Ukrainian journalist Yuriy Butusov said the strike hit its target in Lgov, Kursk Oblast.
In the video, the narrator describes significant damage, saying, “A fire has started. The guys are all in the bunker; there are a lot of people.”
