The National Resistance Center of Ukraine has shared a video showing the results of a strike launched on August 1st by a High-Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) team on a group of russian forces stationed on the Dzharylhach island in Kherson region, southern part of Ukraine.
A reconnaissance drone spotted dozens of russian infantrymen lining up at an open-air location, most probably for military training, split up into five groups.

Respectively, five GMLRS precision rockets with satellite guidance were fired at them by a HIMARS crew deployed for the strike. Such rockets bind to the designated coordinates of the target and have a range of 70 km.
The island, in turn, is located around 70 km from the front line which means HIMARS launchers had to take a position very close to the line of contact with the enemy force that lies along the Dnipro river.
The risky operation was successful: the rockets arrive in quick succession. The final camera shots show a GMLRS rocket hitting the bushes where the russians had some training trenches prepared. They tried to hide there from shelling but the rocket found them. The press service did not specify whether it was the sixth strike after adjustment or a coincidence.
On a side note, the National Resistance Center of Ukraine also specified that this strike was launched after and thanks to receiving the information provided by local residents of the occupied Ukrainian territories.
