Hostilities in the Kharkiv region

Militarnyi previously reported that the Khartiia Brigade and the 92nd Separate Assault Brigade repulsed a Russian offensive in the Kharkiv region.

Before the direct offensive, a drone detected the enemy in time to prepare for a defensive battle.

In the assault, the enemy engaged BMP-3 infantry fighting vehicles equipped with anti-drone protection, which were supposed to support the Russian infantry with fire thanks to the use of a 30mm gun and a 100mm rocket launcher.

Nevertheless, the combat vehicles were the first to be destroyed, as they were a priority target for Ukrainian defenders and were carrying troops.
