Ukrainian Armed Forces drones destroyed enemy artillery and equipment in Donetsk region. A self-propelled gun, two howitzers, and several trucks were destroyed, according to the Khortytsia operational-strategic group.
As a result of the effective work of unmanned aerial vehicles of the Ivan Franko Group unit in Donetsk region, a significant amount of enemy equipment was destroyed, including a self-propelled artillery system, two D-30 howitzers and several vehicles.
During the fighting, UAV pilots discovered the positions of Russian troops where the occupiers were trying to hide their self-propelled artillery under trees between abandoned residential buildings.
However, aerial reconnaissance spotted an enemy cannon, and soon the kamikaze drone hit the target. After hitting the gun, its ammunition detonated, causing a powerful explosion.
In addition, two D-30 howitzers were destroyed by accurate strikes. The enemy was unable to save their equipment - the howitzers were hit in the breech.
Ivan Franko Group's unit also successfully destroyed several Ural trucks belonging to the Russian army, significantly weakening the enemy's supply and mobility in the region.
Situation at the front
120 combat engagements were registered in the frontline over the past day.
In total, the enemy carried out 135 air strikes, using 249 guided aerial bombs, and conducted more than 6,600 artillery attacks, including 157 from multiple launch rocket systems. The occupiers launched 2709 kamikaze drones over the day.
