A video capturing the destruction of Russian assault units was posted on the official Telegram page of the 79th Separate Tavrian Air Assault Brigade. This time, the Russians attempted to conduct a massive assault on the paratroopers' positions, using 44 units of military equipment. While approaching the paratroopers' positions, the enemy was detected by the unit's aerial reconnaissance, and the brigade's artillery started to fire on it.

In addition, some of the enemy's equipment was hit by mines and left behind, and some equipment was hit by FPV drones. The active use of munitions against the enemy did not allow him to reach the front lines to assault the positions directly.

In total, the enemy launched an attack with 35 armored vehicles with troops supported by 9 tanks, of which 5 armored vehicles were destroyed. The enemy's losses in manpower amounted to 28 soldiers, and 22 were seriously wounded.

The invaders' armored vehicles and infantry tried to break through the defense in the Kurakhove sector.

The Brigade reported that the invaders had once again taken a "suicidal step" and, with the support of equipment, attacked the positions of the Ukrainian paratroopers.
