Soldiers of the 44th Separate Artillery Brigade targeted enemy guns in the Zaporizhzhia direction, according to the Facebook page of the 44th Separate Artillery Brigade named after Hetman Danylo Apostol.
In the Zaporizhzhia direction, the soldiers struck and destroyed:
-
a D-30 howitzer and its ammunition,
-
a D-20 howitzer,
-
a 2A65 Msta-B howitzer.
"Destroying enemy guns not only weakens their firepower but also reduces their offensive potential. The best reward for this difficult and dangerous work is the lives of Ukrainians saved," the brigade wrote.
