Russia loses a column of equipment trying to breakthrough in Kharkiv region

"On January 8 and 9, the occupiers advanced on the brigade's positions in an attempt to break through but lost 20 units of their equipment," the report said.

According to the military, part of the column was halted by anti-tank guided missile strikes, causing BMPs and tanks to veer off the road and hit mines.

"Remnants were attacked with FPV drones. A pontoon crossing was destroyed, sinking a tank. Enemy infantry was targeted with aerial bombs and artillery. Those who survived began retreating," the brigade added.

Second attempt at assault

Having lost dozens of units of equipment, the Russians attempted another assault, deploying armored groups from four directions simultaneously.

After being struck by Ukrainian fighters, more Russian armor was destroyed using ATGMs and drones.
