On one of the key front lines, Ukrainian drone operators destroyed a significant number of Russian personnel and fortified positions, thwarting their attempts to storm Ukrainian positions.

As the Ukrainian defenders note, Russian troops tried to act covertly, accumulating personnel in shelters and moving under the cover of night.
