Video posted Oct. 20, 2026 by Ukraine's Ministry of Defence. The ministry says a Russian BM-30 Smerch rocket launcher had shelled civilians in Kherson region, that intelligence analysts tracked its fire and reconnaissance drones found it about 60 km behind the front line, and that bomber drones then struck both the launcher and its reload vehicle; on-screen captions credit Lasar's Group. The 36-second clip mixes overhead drone footage with crosshairs over vehicles and smoke, ministry graphics that put the launcher's value at $11,321,780 and the reload vehicle's at $3,000,000, and a ground view of a damaged launcher under a shelter. The result is the ministry's claim and has not been independently verified.
