The Ukrainian Armed Forces destroyed a tank convoy and a landing party of Russian troops in the Toretsk sector. The operation was carried out with the help of aerial reconnaissance, according to the 28th Brigade named after the Knights of the Winter Campaign of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
In the Toretsk sector, the Ukrainian military successfully repelled a Russian assault, destroying a large tank column and a landing party of Russian troops.
Russian occupiers, having intensified their attacks with heavy equipment, tried to advance in massive numbers, but their offensive was successfully stopped thanks to the efficient work of Ukrainian aerial reconnaissance, artillery and unmanned aerial vehicle units.
During the fighting, a column of tanks packed with infantry was detected and neutralized by adjusting artillery fire and using drones.
As a result of the attack, 2 units of the Russian occupiers' tanks were destroyed, and two more began to retreat, leaving their soldiers on the battlefield. The troops scattered, some of them ended up in an open field, while others hid in the surrounding bushes.
