In the Novopavlivske direction, Ukrainian defenders stopped and destroyed an assault armored column of the Russian occupiers.
This is reported by the Khortytsia Regional State Administrative Organization.
It is noted that the enemies decided to take advantage of the unfavorable weather conditions. So, they advanced to break through the Ukrainian defenses in three infantry fighting vehicles with infantry and a bunch of motorcycles.
"But the occupiers failed to catch our defenders by surprise. Together with the fighters of the adjacent unit from the 31st OMBR, the column of equipment was discovered in advance, stopped and fired upon. It took a little more time to deal with the remnants of the enemy infantry, which had scattered along the landings," the report says.
The video of the destruction was released by the Separate Presidential Brigade named after Hetman Bohdan Khmelnytsky:
We should add that over the past 24 hours, the Defense Forces stopped 79 offensive actions of the Russian occupiers in the Pokrov direction alone, and in Kursk, Ukrainian defenders repelled 27 enemy attacks. In total, 216 combat clashes were recorded over the past 24 hours, almost along the entire front.
