In the Donetsk region, Ukrainian soldiers defeated a Russian armored group that was trying to break through the defense in the Kurakhove sector.

The video of the destruction of the invaders was published by the press service of the 214th ‘OPFOR’ Separate Special Battalion.

The Russian command sent several armored vehicles with infantry to break through the Ukrainian defense near the village of Kostiantynivka.

The movement of the Russian armored group along a field road was detected by Ukrainian reconnaissance drones.

Then Ukrainian gunners of the 31st Brigade’s self-propelled artillery battalion began to fire at the enemy column.

Cluster munitions and drone strikes were used to destroy enemy infantry.

All this time, Ukrainian drones were adjusting artillery fire and detecting the invaders trying to gain a foothold.

Some of the enemy armored vehicles were destroyed, and the assault near the destroyed settlement was repelled.

“Another attempt by the ruscists to make a massive breakthrough in one of the hottest areas of the Donetsk region. The 214th ‘OPFOR’ Separate Special Battalion with the support of the 31st Brigade`s Self-Propelled Howitzer Battalion sent this trash to hell!” the video description reads.

Fierce fighting continues in the Kurakhove sector, as well as in other parts of the frontline. The Russian invaders are trying to break through the Ukrainian defense there. They carry out periodic assault actions involving armored vehicles and tanks.

In early July, the Ukrainian paratroopers defeated a Russian armored group with the help of artillery, minefields, and attack drones.

Then the occupiers tried to break through the defense with a T-62MV tank and BMP-3 infantry fighting vehicles.
