In the village of Basivka, Sumy region, marines prevented a group of invaders from gaining a foothold

Ukrainian drones attacked a group of invaders who entered the village of Basivka in the Sumy region.

The 36th Separate Marine Brigade, which is defending the Sumy region, said that the Russians keep trying to cross the border.

Recently, a group of invaders on 3 ATVs infiltrated the ruined village of Basivka. Analysts from the In Factum group identified the place of the marines’ combat work.

Ukrainian reconnaissance drones were monitoring the village and the movement of the Russians.

After the Russians entered the village, attack UAVs began to hunt them down.

FPV drones destroyed ATVs and flew into houses and basements where Russians were trying to hide.

The press service of the North operational command reported that the Russian army fired 205 times in the past 24 hours at the border of Chernihiv, Sumy, and Kharkiv regions.

“The enemy continues to destroy the entire border of the Sumy region. The enemy continues to shell other districts of the Sumy region daily. Shakheds, artillery shelling in recent days has greatly increased the density of strikes with KABs and FPV drones. It is very negative that FPV drones are being used very actively against the civilian population. That is why the situation in the Sumy region remains very, very tense,” Dmytro Lantushenko, senior officer of the communications department of the 117th separate territorial defense brigade, shared.

Earlier, it was reported that the invaders’ goal is to create tension points in border villages, and if they manage to infiltrate, they start dispersing throughout the village.

After that, the Ukrainian Defense Forces are forced to allocate their own forces to drive them out, weakening their focus on other areas.

Operationally, they want to first gain a foothold in the settlement, establish control over it, and create conditions for further advancement.

Oleksandr Syrskyi, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, also said that the Russians have effectively launched an offensive in the Sumy and Kharkiv regions.
