In March, 2022, a few weeks after Putin ordered the full-scale invasion, Russian artillery hit a barracks in Mykolaiv, killing between 40 and 100 Ukrainian recruits, according to AFP. With a combat range of 50 miles, HIMARS has been a thorn in the side of the Russian rearguard by disrupting supply lines of weapons and military equipment to the Kremlin’s troops, forcing them to move their arsenals further away from the front lines. The Grey Zone, one of the most-followed Telegram social media accounts among Russian forces in Ukraine, said that at most 150 servicemen would have been in the building. Images released by the Russian media confirm that the barracks was completely destroyed. Both the Russian and Ukrainian armies have strict protocols in place to prevent troop concentrations from being detected via the transmission of mobile data or the location of GPS signals from devices. The TASS state news agency, citing local military authorities in Donetsk, reported that Ukrainian forces were able to pinpoint the target due to the high concentration of cellphone signals in the barracks. Video footage shared on social networks by residents of the city show that the explosion at the base occurred at midnight on January 1, and that the detonation was so strong that the bodies of several servicemen were projected dozens of meters. In the front-line regions, it is also possible for the opposing armies to identify the location of mobile devices using cell towers in both the occupied and unoccupied zones. The soldiers stationed there were a [conscript battalion](https://english.elpais.com/international/2022-10-06/russian-recruits-blast-chaotic-mobilization-and-lack-of-pay.html) called up under the [partial mobilization](https://english.elpais.com/international/2022-09-25/how-will-russias-partial-mobilization-impact-the-war-in-ukraine.html) ordered by Vladimir Putin last September.
