Servicemen of the Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Donetsk region eliminated a platoon of Russian invaders during a drone attack on Russian positions at an industrial complex.

Ukrainian soldiers clarified that such a raid on an industrial complex in the Donetsk sector was carried out by operators of the 3rd Regiment of the Special Forces, and during the operation they destroyed about a platoon of Russian military.

“Only one Russian soldier saved his life - the operators forced him to surrender,” the Ukrainian defenders said.

The Russian prisoner provided valuable information about Russian ammunition depots and storage facilities. The Special Operations Forces added that these Russian arsenals were destroyed on the same day.

“When the Russian infantry occupied the industrial complex, the command of one of the units of the 3rd Special Operations Forces regiment planned and sent subgroups to conduct special actions at the facility itself and along the perimeter of the industrial zone,” the SOF reported.

First, the drone operators worked and after the FPV strikes, the Ukrainian defenders flew in on armored Humvees and cleared all the buildings.

Earlier, Ukraine's Special Forces soldiers cleared an industrial facility behind Russian lines, and 23 Russian occupants were eliminated.

Also, the Ukrainian Defense Forces said that the SOF began conducting operations in the Kursk region several months before the start of the Ukrainian Armed Forces' offensive. The main forces were led along already prepared routes.
