2022-04-18 14:43:01 The Ukrainian Armed Forces hit a farm in Tokmak, Zaporozhye region, with Tochka-U missile system

The strike targeted private outbuildings designed to support the work of a local farm and the farmers' homes.

"…Look at this. Here is reinforced concreting 15-20 centimeters thick, but still a missile has formed such a hole in it. Even a jackhammer won't help to remove these shambles. Just imagine the power it possessed, the concrete plates scattered like a house of cards… The power was devastating." said the owner of the farmer's storehouse.
