Ukraine 'blows up Russian mercenary HQ in Donbas
Sergei Sreda, a so-called 'war reporter' and Russian propagandist, visited Wagner HQ in Ukraine last week
He posted photos on Telegram, saying he was welcomed 'like family' by fighters who told him 'funny stories'
But one photo gave away the base's location after Sreda accidentally captured a sign with an address on it
Ukraine says it used photo to locate the base and hit it with HIMARS, with strike confirmed on Sunday
Smiling alongside mercenaries in full combat gear, this is how Russian war propagandist Sergei Sreda marked a visit to Wagner's Ukraine headquarters last week - saying they welcomed him 'like family' and told 'funny stories'.

But Sreda may have condemned the men to death - giving away the base's location in the occupied city of Popasna after inadvertently photographing a street sign that contained the address of a nearby bomb shelter.
