A video of the assault was published on the unit's official Telegram page. The assault was organized together with the support of other units, which allowed the soldiers to land the assault group near the captured enemy trenches. First of all, the preparations for assault operations were made, and a smoke screen was installed, which allowed the movement of the Bradley combat vehicle with a paratrooper inside to be somewhat hidden from direct detection.

Mortars and artillery were also used to support the infantry, shelling Russian positions to force the enemy infantry to the ground and ensure the actions of Skala's fighters. Thanks to the professionalism of the military, they managed to capture the trenches and eliminate the enemy infantry that resisted. "The soldiers of the 425th Battalion "Skala" broke in on Bradley IFVs and cleared the enemy's position.

Two invaders tried to resist, but as a result were killed," the battalion said in a statement. In addition, the unit has recently carried out assault operations in this area and drove the enemy out of its positions.

The assault was supported by two American M1117 armored personnel carriers. The unit said that while the Russian invaders were trying to hit the first armored vehicle, which was traveling at the highest possible speed and drew the occupiers' fire on itself. Ukrainian bomber drones and FPV drones practiced at the landing site of the main assault group.

While the Russian invaders were spending their drones on the first M1117, the second armored personnel carrier reached an enemy trench and landed the assault group of the 425th Battalion "Skala".
