In the North-Slobozhanskyi direction, Ukrainian special forces carried out a successful operation, eliminating at least 13 Russian troops, according to Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
SOF operators crossed the line of Ukrainian positions and quietly infiltrated Russian-controlled territory. After conducting reconnaissance, they carried out a raid, eliminating Russians in dugouts and firing positions.
After the ACE report (Ammunition, Casualties, Equipment), the SOF decided to stay overnight at the captured positions and ambush Russian reinforcement groups there.
"Thanks to the decisive actions of the operators and the coordinated work of drone and mortar crews, it was possible to destroy several more Russian assault groups. According to the results of special operations, the destruction of 13 Russians has been confirmed," the report says.
Special operations in the North-Slobozhanskyi direction were carried out by Group A of the 1st detachment of the 144th Special Operations Forces Center. The Special Operations Forces group carried out the exfiltration and is preparing for the next task.
