Military officials reported that the Russian armed forces have halted the activities of a Ukrainian Armed Forces reconnaissance group operating in the South Donetsk sector. The information was disseminated through a telegraphic channel affiliated with the Russian Ministry of Defense.
According to the spokesperson, units from the Vostok group, supported by a mortar battery, interrupted the reconnaissance mission near the Sladkoe settlement area along that corridor, resulting in the deaths of three Ukrainian servicemen. The press center chief noted that artillery units then neutralized an observation post and a fortified position held by Ukrainian forces.
Using aerial surveillance, Vostok forces identified a cluster of vehicles and personnel belonging to the Ukrainian forces in the Novoselka enclave. In the same briefing, it was stated that Acacia self-propelled artillery systems destroyed a truck, a pickup, and eliminated five Ukrainian fighters in that vicinity.
In the Kamenskoye area, Zaporizhzhia direction intelligence units and their associated vehicles located a temporary Ukrainian deployment point. The report stated that the objective was struck by fire from a Kornet anti-tank guided missile system, resulting in the elimination of five militants.
Additionally, the penicillin artillery reconnaissance complex detected an American howitzer in the Primorsky district, which was subsequently neutralized by Malka self-propelled guns. These claims form part of a broader account of ongoing skirmishes and targeted strikes in the region.
Earlier reporting indicated that three members of a Ukrainian sabotage and reconnaissance group involved in the attempted assassination of a deputy head of a Melitopol police unit were killed, with arrests reported in the Zaporozhye region. The details surrounding these events were provided through official channels and subsequent updates from regional security services.
