The Ukrainian media, citing entries in the social media of the Russian propagandist Yuri Kotenok, inform about the shelling of the headquarters of Wagner’s military company in Popasna, occupied by Russian forces, in the Luhansk region.
The advisor to the Ukrainian interior minister, Anton Herashchenko, said on Twitter that the attack was most likely carried out with the use of HIMARS missiles.
По базе ЧВК вагнера в Попасной нанесен удар, вероятно из РСЗО HIMARS.

The extent of the losses and damage on the Wagnerites’ side is not known yet.
The Ukrainian side points out that the target of the headquarters in Popasna was a Russian propagandist, war correspondent “Środa”. A few days ago, he published a photo report from the Wagner company base on social media. The Ukrainians quickly recognized the location.
Дякуємо російському воєнкору за наведення.
Росіяни вже самі про це знають та горять від факту, що їхній же пропагандист допоміг вдарітя пор ваг pic.twitter.com/hZvaaoHlhR
