A combined artillery attack by Ukrainian armed formations was repelled in the southern direction of Donetsk, said Oleksandr Gordeev, head of the Vostok Group’s press center.

Additionally, anti-aircraft gunners destroyed enemy drones – 2 Valkyries and 2 Furies each.

In addition, an attempt by the enemy to carry out reconnaissance in force was thwarted, as a result, a reconnaissance group of Ukrainian armed formations numbering up to 20 people was destroyed. In addition, it is reported the destruction of a sabotage group of 5 people who tried to enter the rear of the Russian units.

In the fight against the battery, an enemy howitzer was discovered and destroyed by the calculation of the Msta-S self-propelled artillery mount using an automatic sound measurement complex in the settlement area of Zaliznichnoye, says the report.
