Ukrainian soldiers fire a flurry of rockets at Russian targets from a Grad 122-mm rocket launcher.

The Ukrainian military said the attack was carried out by members of the 81st Airmobile Brigade of the Ukrainian Air Assault Forces (DShV) in the eastern region of Donetsk Oblast.

The brigade used a BM-21 ‘Grad’ 122-mm multiple rocket launcher to fire at Russian targets.

The Command of the Assault Troops of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said on 30th May: “Artillery of the 81st brigade of the DShV destroyed Russian occupiers in the Ukrainian Donetsk region.

“Soldiers of the 81st Airmobile Brigade of the DShV of the Armed Forces of Ukraine continue to inflict daily losses on the Russian occupiers and destroy their equipment.

“Death to the Russian occupiers! DShV - Always First! Glory to Ukraine!”

Russian troops invaded Ukraine on 24th February in what the Kremlin is still calling a "special military operation". Today marks the 97th day of the campaign.
