The Special Operations Forces raided the Russian positions and destroyed the Russian troops. The operation of the Ukrainian defenders was carried out without losses, according to Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The footage shows the work of the 3rd Regiment of the Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The operators discovered at least four Russian occupants who had taken a dugout at the former position of the Ukrainian Defense Forces in one of the hottest operational areas.

The Ukrainian Special Operations Forces group broke in close to the Russian position in an armored Humvee. The operators took the exit from the dugout under fire control and threw 13 kilograms of Semtex, a plastic explosive based on hexogen and pentaerithrityl tetranitrate, inside.

“A powerful explosion left only a crater and the remains of the Russian occupiers at the site of the Russian dugout,” Ukrainian defenders said.

After the operation, the soldiers of the 3rd Special Operations Forces Regiment withdrew to a safe place without losses.

Russia's losses

Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the Russian occupation forces have lost more than 834,000 soldiers. Over the past day, the Armed Forces of Ukraine eliminated 1670 Russian troops.

Earlier, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine reported that last year was the heaviest for Russia in terms of losses. Russia lost more than 400,000 soldiers and thousands of pieces of equipment.
