Ukrainian Defense Forces fought off a massive Russian assault on the village of Kostiantynivka in the Donetsk region.

The 79th Air Assault Brigade reported that the Russian invaders had engaged about 70 units of equipment in the assault.

“The invaders used 10 tanks, 47 armored vehicles with infantry, 10 motorcycles, and 1 buggy in one day,” the paratroopers said.

The Russian command tried to capture the village of Kostiantynivka in the Kurakhiv sector with a massive assault operation.

Several armored vehicles managed to break into the outskirts of the village and landed a landing party in the nearest houses.

These armored vehicles were destroyed by Ukrainian paratroopers, and Russian infantry were knocked out of the houses by drones that dropped grenades on the invaders.

Artillery, drone operators, anti-tank gunners, sappers, and infantry were involved in fighting off the invaders’ assault.

“Despite the enormous amount of Russian equipment, all the enemy’s efforts were once again nullified,” the paratroopers shared.

The military noted that during the battle, they hit 12 armored combat vehicles, 8 Russian tanks, 9 motorcycles, and a buggy.

36 invaders were neutralized, and another 32 invaders were wounded.

The Russian command has been trying to capture the positions of the 79th Air Assault Brigade near the villages of Kostiantynivka and Paraskoviivka for a long time.

Despite these assaults, the paratroopers continue holding their positions near the village and destroy a significant amount of Russian equipment. The village is now almost completely destroyed by heavy fighting.
