On the outskirts of Kostiantynivka, border guards from the Phoenix unit struck a Russian Grad multiple rocket launcher and destroyed an enemy tank, according to the State Border Guard Service.
"On the outskirts of Kostiantynivka, border guards from the ‘Phoenix’ unit hit a Russian Grad — the hellish machine never reached its target and did not have the chance to harm civilians or the Defense Forces," the report said. A camouflaged enemy tank was also destroyed.
The State Border Guard Service noted that on the Toretsk direction, Phoenix pilots conduct round-the-clock operations to eliminate enemy assault vehicles, equipment, and machinery, while also disrupting enemy logistics.
Vehicles, trucks, and quad bikes are all being targeted — anything the enemy uses to deliver troops or ammunition to their positions.
