The death of officers was known earlier, but the fact that they were killed by HIMARS was discovered only over the weekend by Potyomin's father, Alexey.
It is believed that the attack was carried out with the help of Western intelligence.
Potyomin, chairman of the Regional Federation of Volgograd Parachusism, told local media: “My son's car was hit by a HIMARS” rocket.
