On the territory of the temporarily occupied Luhansk region, a group of Russians was eliminated. They took part in the occupation of Bucha in 2022, according to the Ukrainian Defense Intelligence (HUR).

On Friday, August 22, on the territory of the temporarily occupied settlement of Kalynove of the Kadiivka city community of Alchevsk district, an explosion rang out. It happened in the yard of a house where six Russian invaders were staying with their military transport.

"In 2022, the mentioned Russian occupiers directly took part in committing war crimes in the city of Bucha of the Kyiv region," they note in the HUR.

In the Luhansk region, the occupiers were performing the function of a mobile air defense group to cover the enemy military-repair base arranged not far from the house.

As a result of the explosion, two enemy pickups with machine guns were destroyed, a UAZ loaded with ammunition. Also, three invaders were eliminated, and two more Russian militants were wounded.

HUR operations

Recently, HUR warriors carried out an operation against Russians in the area of the temporarily occupied Zaliznyi Port of the Kherson region. A missile struck the boat of the Russian army, killing five invaders.

Also in recent days, HUR special forces eliminated over 90 Russians in the Donetsk region, and five more were taken prisoner.

In addition, a naval drone of intelligence broke through to the bay of Novorossiysk, as a result of which five elite Russian divers were killed.
