According to the 53rd Separate Mechanized Brigade, the anti-tank operators successfully destroyed five units of enemy armored vehicles. The Russian command sent tanks and infantry fighting vehicles to assault near the village of Dibrova. However, the invaders' breakthrough to the Ukrainian front lines failed due to the clear coordination of actions and effective use of anti-tank weapons.
"Three tanks and two infantry fighting vehicles were destroyed by the Stugna ATGM in the course of repulsing the enemy attack," the brigade said. Russian soldiers were also wounded by the system.
