Defense Intelligence of Ukraine (HUR) has released exclusive footage of a special operation in Pokrovsk, Donetsk region. The video shows the entire sequence of actions — from parachuteless landing to close-quarters combat, according to the Ukrainian Defense Intelligence.
“Unique footage of the combat work on the front line by the fighters of the Timur Special Unit of the Defense Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine in Pokrovsk, Donetsk region,” the video description reads.
The footage shows the landing of HUR paratroopers, the destruction of Russian occupation forces’ positions, and enemy personnel.
The video captures one of the most dangerous moments of the operation — the landing of a reconnaissance group without parachutes directly in an active combat zone.
Fragments from inside the helicopter cabin show crews flying at minimal altitude to avoid detection by Russian FPV drones and air defense systems.
Once on the ground, the soldiers immediately take positions and begin assault operations.
Situation in Pokrovsk
Earlier, media reported on a special operation by Ukraine’s Defence Intelligence in Pokrovsk, during which assault units of the military intelligence entered parts of the city that Russians had previously declared “captured.”
Today, the HUR revealed the first details of this operation.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that the situation in the Pokrovsk direction remains difficult but stressed that there is no talk of Ukrainian forces being encircled.
Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrskyi emphasized that a comprehensive operation is underway in this area to destroy and push back Russian troops.
According to the morning report of the General Staff, the Defence Forces repelled 55 enemy assaults in the Pokrovsk direction over the past day.
Yesterday, it was reported that Ukrainian forces stopped the enemy’s advance north of Pokrovsk and prevented the cutting of a key logistics route.
