Ukrainian Defense Forces destroyed a Msta-S self-propelled howitzer of Russian invaders in Donetsk region. The destruction occurred when a Ukrainian drone, operated by the FPV Drone Group “Muramasa” of the 109th Territorial Defense Brigade, hit the howitzer while it was driving on the highway in the Kryvyi Rih sector. The Russian crew’s fate remains unknown. The FPV Drone Group expressed gratitude to the Kit Muran Foundation for providing the drones. Observers monitoring the Russian-Ukrainian war confirmed the incident near the village of Kamianka. This is the second time the FPV Drone Group has destroyed a Russian Msta-S howitzer, as they previously destroyed one in a forested firing position. In early June, another Msta-S was destroyed near Vasylivka, resulting in a powerful explosion that destroyed the vehicle and crew inside.

The FPV Drone Group “Muramasa” of the 109th Territorial Defense Brigade reported the incident.
