The Defense Forces destroyed the enemy's 2S1 Gvozdika self-propelled howitzer in the Donetsk region. The Russian self-propelled howitzer was hit by a Ukrainian FPV strike drone operated by the operator of the Eyes of Retribution group of the 59th Separate Infantry Brigade. Volunteer and blogger Serhii Sternenko published a video of the Ukrainian defenders' combat mission.

Judging by the footage, the Russian artillery system was in a combat position in a ready-to-fire configuration.
