The Ukrainian military is destroying the logistics of the Russian occupiers in the Kharkiv sector. This is especially true for vehicles that transport infantry, according to the Kharkiv operational and tactical group of troops.

“Destruction of Russian logistics is one of the most important operations on the battlefield. The Russian occupants are trying to move ammunition and personnel at night, but the drones of the 71st separate hunting brigade are under round-the-clock surveillance,” the statement says.

In particular, aerial reconnaissance spotted the movement of Russian trucks and transmitted the coordinates to artillery units.

“Several gunshots managed to stop the movement of the enemy Ural. The pilots of FPV drones finished the job,” the Kharkiv operational and tactical group of troops says.

Nighttime FPV drones also shot down an enemy vehicle carrying infantry.

“Hearing the sound of the drone, the Russian occupants tried to escape, but to no avail - the Russian infantry along with the vehicle was destroyed,” the Ukrainian military adds.

Situation at frontline

The operational situation in the Kharkiv sector remains difficult. The Ukrainian Defense Forces continue to hold back the offensive of the Russian occupation forces.

One combat engagement took place over the last day. The Russian occupants launched 2 airstrikes using 5 combat aircraft, as well as 60 strikes by kamikaze drones. They fired 352 times at the positions of the Ukrainian defenders.

In addition, Russia attacked the Kupiansk sector 23 times over the last day. Ukrainian Defense Forces repelled Russian assaults near Petropavlivka, Kucherivka, Kolisnykivka, Kruhliakivka, Miasozharivka, Stepova Novoselivka, Pishchane, Vyshneve and Lozova.
