Soldiers of the Azov Brigade, the 95th Brigade and accompanying units of the Ukrainian Defense Forces, drove the Russian invaders out of a number of positions in the Lyman sector. The invaders were driven back from the settlements of Terny and Yampolivka in the Donetsk region. Ukrainian defenders managed to gain a foothold in the liberated positions.
The press service of the 12th Special Operations Brigade "Azov" reported about this in Telegram. The military showed a video from the newly retaken positions near Terny, where Russians are storming the lost trenches in the hope of regaining them. The Azov Brigade said that since the beginning of the year, the Russian troops had been continuously attacking the positions of the Ukrainian Defense Forces near Terny in the Liman sector.
They noted that the situation in the area had been threatening because the invaders had spared neither personnel nor equipment to capture the Ukrainian village. "As a result of a successful operation conducted by the 12th Special Operations Brigade "Azov", the 95th Air Assault Brigade and related units, the Ukrainian Defense Forces drove the enemy back from Terny and Yampolivka and consolidated their positions," the Azov Brigade press service reported.
