Ukraine claims two Russian Generals slain, one injured during attack in Kherson

Ukrainian troops have exhibited a strong resistance against Kremlin forces ever since Vladimir Putin dispatched his army to the ex-Soviet state on February 24 for a special military operation. Despite Russia intensifying its aggression with each passing day, Ukrainian forces' resistance too has advanced. Ukraine's Defense Ministry's Intelligence Directorate recently announced that two Russian generals were slain and one was severely injured in the attack by the Ukrainian forces. It further mentioned that the Ukrainian army attacked the 49th General Army of the Russian Occupation Troops' forward command centre in the Kherson region, which was a short distance away from the fighting line.

As a result of the attack, two Russian generals were killed and one was critically injured and evacuated in critical condition. The directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine also stated that the military intelligence is still looking for major targets to inflict maximum damage on the occupiers of the Ukrainian territory. Ukraine has taken control of Kherson, according to local media reports.
