Ukrainian intelligence fighters thwarted a Russian attempt to advance in the Sumy direction. Special forces destroyed over 8 companies of Russian occupiers, according to the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine (HUR).
During the special operation, Ukrainian reconnaissance troops entered Russia's rear, cleared their positions, and secured their positions. As noted by the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine, the Russian advance was stopped, and the supply of provisions and ammunition to their units was disrupted.
"According to radio intercepts, Russian soldiers, using far-fetched excuses, refused to storm positions in the area of responsibility of the Tymur Special Unit," the report says.
The Defense Intelligence of Ukraine also revealed a video showing key moments of the Ukrainian reconnaissance mission:
- rapid raids behind Russian lines
- artillerymen and grenade launchers' rapid work
- elimination of the Russian troops with FPV drones
- footage of close-range combat.
According to the HUR, Russia's total losses amounted to at least 334 dead and over 550 wounded, which is equivalent to the destruction of over 8 companies of occupiers.
As noted in the intelligence report, the operation was carried out by the forces of the Khymera, Yunher, Stuhna, Siberian Battalion, Aratta, 1514, Paragon, Art Division, First Line, Raven Group, and 6th Special Operations Detachment, which are part of Tymur Special Unit of the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine.
Armed Forces of Ukraine returning Sumy region
On July 27, it was officially announced that the Armed Forces of Ukraine had liberated the border village of Kindrativka in the Sumy region. An epic video of the battles for the settlement also appeared.
According to State Border Guard Service of Ukraine spokesperson Andrii Demchenko, driving Russian troops out of the settlement will allow the Armed Forces of Ukraine to consolidate their positions and halt Russia's advance.
