Ukrainian National Guard destroys Russian subversive reconnaissance group near Pokrovsk

“In the Pokrovsk direction, aerial reconnaissance units from the 11th Brigade, named after Mykhailo Hrushevskyi, part of the Southern Operational-Territorial Unit of the National Guard of Ukraine, destroyed an enemy sabotage and reconnaissance group traveling in vehicles,” the statement said.

The National Guard fighters, with a precise strike from a kamikaze drone, first eliminated a buggy carrying Russian soldiers and then targeted a surviving occupier who attempted to flee on a motorcycle from the burning, detonating vehicle.
